a Synthesis of dormant monomers of 2EH-PDI. Heating the supramolecular polymers (SPs) formed at 303 K to 353 K leads to the formation of monomers in MCH*. Later, by rapid cooling (10 K/min.) to 303 K led to the formation of dormant monomers. When these dormant monomers were left undisturbed at 303 K, SPs were formed over a period of 90 min. b Temperature-dependent UV-vis absorption variation of 2EH-PDI monitored at monomer wavelength (515 nm) at various volume percentages of DCE in MCH (c = 50 μM). c Time-dependent UV-vis absorption variation of the 2EH-PDI at 515 nm at various cooling rates in MCH* (c = 50 μM) at 303 K.
