Abstract

After their first synthesis in 1915 by Curtius, benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) have become increasingly important in a wide range of scientific disciplines. Their simple structure and wide accessibility in combination with a detailed understanding of their supramolecular self-assembly behaviour allow full utilization of this versatile, supramolecular building block in applications ranging from nanotechnology to polymer processing and biomedical applications. While the opportunities in the former cases are connected to the self-assembly of BTAs into one-dimensional, nanometer-sized rod like structures stabilised by threefold H-bonding, their multivalent nature drives applications in the biomedical field. This review summarises the different types of BTAs that appeared in the recent literature and the applications they have been evaluated in. Currently, the first commercial applications of BTAs are emerging. The adaptable nature of this multipurpose building block promises a bright future.
