• ability of quaterthiophene and hexathiophene derivatives with peripheral amide-linked cholesterol moieties [19]. We recently reported [12] the self-assembly of perylene bisimide (PBI) π-systems that are functionalized with trialkoxybenzamide moiety and have shown that they possess much superior and
