Graphical Abstract
One-dimensional supramolecular assembly of dendrimers (see picture) has been achieved by multiple weak interactions between highly branched molecules with irregular structures. This finding contradicts the widely accepted assumption that precise matching of directional interactions and steric constraints is required to facilitate long-range one-dimensional supramolecular assembly.
