The linear oligo-isophthalamide strand 1 undergoes a conformational reorganization upon binding of a cyanuric acid template as effector to afford a helical disklike object possessing radially disposed alkyl residues. Solvophobic and stacking interactions, in turn, drive a 'second level' self- assembly of the templated structure, the stacking of the helical disks, to yield fibers as revealed by electron microscopy. These data provide insight into the interplay of the different structural and interactional features of the molecular components towards the formation of supramolecular fibers through sequential hierarchical self-assembly events and suggest design strategies for the effector-controlled generation of related supramolecular assemblies.

The selection of the receptor presenting the strongest affinity for a barbiturate substrate from a dynamic combinatorial library of constituents differing in structure and conformation/configuration is described. The gradual addition of the barbiturate to
