Abstract

We report that variation of a single regio-configuration in molecular Janus particles leads to divergent self-assembly behaviors where each isomer gives a distinct morphology as guided by their molecular symmetry. The differences in their phase diagrams were rationalized based on the proposed molecular packing and relevant interfacial energies.
