| Abstract: | Alkyl‐substituted pyrrole‐based anion‐responsive π‐electronic systems formed supramolecular gels and liquid crystals through effective π–π stacking and van der Waals interactions. The addition of chloride as a planar cation salt afforded ion‐pairing assemblies as soft materials comprising planar receptor‐Cl? complexes and the cation. |
