Abstract
Eleven bis-ureas have been synthesized, and some of their properties are reported. Several of these compounds form supramolecular polymers in organic solvents. The self-association is shown by FTIR spectroscopy to display cooperativity at two levels. The first level of cooperativity is due to the synergistic association of the two urea functions of a single molecule. The second level of cooperativity is revealed by the fact that the formation of dimers is less favored than that of long oligomers.
