a Schematic representation of the formation of globular aggregates from the linear polymers described in ref. 35. b SANS data arising from the globular aggregates35. c Corresponding radial density profile Δρ(x), showing the higher density core and lower density shell of the aggregates35.

Copyright 2011 American Chemical Society d SAXS data obtained at 1 × 10–5 M in water/THF (70:30, v/v) arising from SPs formed from a hexa-substituted benzene scaffold decorated with perylene diimides as outlined in ref. 37. The DAMMIN fit is shown as a blue solid line. The molecular envelope output from the DAMMIN approach is shown on the RHS overlapping a molecular model obtained by molecular mechanics optimisation37.
