New supramolecular packing motifs: π-stacked rods encased in triply-helical hydrogen bonded amide strands

Abstract
The structure of N,N′,N″-tris(2-methoxyethyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide consists of aryl rings self-assembled using a novel conjunction of organizational motifs into a π-stack surrounded by a triple helical network of hydrogen bonds, in a manner suggestive of a new mode of organization for some columnar liquid crystals.
