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.
