Guanine is one of the nucleotides and can be formed supramolecular structure called G-quadruplex with cations in the guanine-rich environment. In recent years, Guanine-derived materials have been studied for their self-assembly process, physical properties, and self-healing properties for biocompatible materials as functional hydrogel, biosensor, and artificial ion channels. Herein, guanine-based liquid crystalline molecules were synthesized containing guanine and peripheral alkoxybenzene part. These can form self-assembled G-quadruplex and supramolecular nanostructures with cations. The self-assembled nanostructures can be controlled, depending on substituents, cation type, and additional process with thermal treatment and surface treatment.
