摘要: A simple 2-dimensional model is introduced to study molecular stacking in planar-non-ionic chromonics. The allows changes aggregation, arising from interaction regions within a chromonic molecule, be quantified. Application of the typical hydrophobic core – hydrophilic corona such as triphenylene-based TP6EO2M, shows energetically preferred arrangement molecules dependent on inter-molecule separation and relative sizes triphenylene poly(ethylene-glycol) corona. Further, we show minimum aromatic size required form phases, explaining why functionalised benzene rings do not phases.
