Abstract

Small changes in the alkane solvent structure in combination with temperature effects lead to four different conformations of stereoselectively deuterated benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides in the aggregated state, affecting the expression of the supramolecular chirality and highlighting the role of the solvent structure in self-assembly processes.
