Two carbazole derivatives with terpyridine units attached to the 3,6-positions are synthesized, 1 with a hydrogen at the 9-position and 2 bearing a dodecyl chain there, to evaluate the influence of H-bonds on their self-assembly behavior with metal ions. The unalkylated derivative 1 assembles with z...
