127. 3 · CA by using synchrotron radiation beam shows two explicit diffractions corresponding to d spacings of 28.5 and 3.4 Å were observed (Figure S6). The latter diffraction in the wide angle region is assignable to the π-π stacking distance. The former diffraction is accompanied by a weak peak corresponding to d spacing of 14.1 Å and attributes to the intercolumnar distance. Molecular modeling shows that the diameters of the hydrogen-bonded complexes with extended peripheral and linker hydrocarbon chains between PBI chromophores and the hydrogen-bonded core are around 46 Å. Therefore, the actual columns adopt more compact structures in the condensed state due to the conformational flexibility of the linker moieties.

142. No helical morphology could be observed for the present system. In general, helical morphologies of chiral columnar assemblies formed by discotic building blocks have rarely been visualized by AFM and TEM unless they form superhelical structures (see reference [7, 10a]). This might be due to these columnar assemblies are more space-filled compared to twisted or helical ribbons formed from rod-shaped building blocks that can be nicely visualized by these technique (see reference [25l,r]).
143. The spatial arrangement of perylene chromophores would be structurally related to those of the helter "skelter-like" helical polymers
