Structural inversion in 3-D hexagonal organization of coil-rod-coil molecule.

We report an unusual example of supramolecular structural inversion in coil-rod-coil molecules, from organized coil perforations in a rod layers to organized discrete rod-bundles in a coil matrix, while maintaining a 3-D hexagonal superlattice.
