Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c2cc17282h

Assemblies comprising anion complexes of π-extended oligopyrrole derivatives and counter cations, as well as those of anion-free receptor molecules, exhibited the formation of mesophases based on columnar structures using electrostatic and π-π interactions. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
