Stiff PEGs : Aqueous solutions of pyrene end‐capped poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEGs) increase their viscosity in the presence of octafluoronaphthalene possibly as a result of aggregation by face‐to‐face stacking (shown schematically). The exploitation of the arene–perfluoroarene supramolecular synthon in solution is reported.
