Novel isoindigo derivatives bearing long-chain N-alkyl substituents: Synthesis and self-assemble behavior

- A series of novel amphiphilic isoindigo derivatives were synthesized.
- Their self-assembly in water-DMF (50% v/v) solution was investigated.
- CMC, aggregation numbers and sizes of aggregates were determined.
- These compounds seem to be good candidate for the creation of the nanodevices.
