We report here on the synthesis and self-assembly of four star-shaped trigonal 1,3,5-tris-(1,1-biphenyl-4-yl)-benzene (TBB) derivatives substituted by different functional groups on the terminal positions of the three arms of the molecule: COOCH3 (1), COOH (2), NH2 (3), and CN (4). Self-assembly of...
