Molecular structure of the monomers and their growth kinetics. a Molecular structures of a charge-transfer complex (1.2) between aromatic donor 1, and benzaldehyde substituted viologen acceptor 2, along with various alkyl amines used in this study. b Schematic illustration of the reaction-driven temporal control of supramolecular polymerization of 1.2. c–e Time-dependent evolution of viscosity trend, absorption trace at 515 nm, and scattering respectively monitored for the kinetics of formation of 1.2-8A. Inset in c is the photograph of hydrogel of 1.2-8A (10 mM). α is the extent of self-assembly (For c–e: [1] = [2] = [8A] = 1 mM, pH = 11.0)
