Abstract
The self-assembly of six self-complimentary Guanine – Cytosine hybrid heterocycles bearing hydrophobic substituents has been studied using combinatorial approach in eight solvents under different conditions. The parameters that were varied include: the structure of the self-assembling module, its concentration, the solvent, temperature, and time of self-assembly. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used as a screening tool. A wide variety of interesting morphologies was found. The most interesting structures were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD).
