Abstract

Good cholesterol: Oligo(p‐phenylenevinylene)s (OPVs) that are mono‐ or disubstituted with cholesterol moieties form pseudo‐J and pseudo‐H aggregates, respectively (see picture), which lead to coiled and twisted helical structures with distinct optical, chiroptical, and morphological properties.
