Self-assembly and characterization of a hydrogen-bonded supramolecular system between an oligo-2-aminopyridine derivative and 1-dodecyluracil

A new self-assembled supramolecular system between an oligo-2-aminopyridine derivative and 1-dodecyluracil through hydrogen bonding interaction was designed and prepared. The hydrogen bonding interaction was confirmed by 1H NMR and UV/vis titration experiments. This self-assembled system can form spherical particles, which can be observed by TEM, indicating that the complementary linear oligo-2-aminopyridine derivative and the uracil derivative can be used for the construction of three-dimensional ball-like aggregates by the hydrogen bonding interaction.
