In contrast to its bis(oxa) analog 1 (DDOA), the hydrocarbon 11 was not found to form organogels with linear alcohols, alkanes, toluene, acetonitrile and other solvents. Whereas the photoreactivity of 1 did not follow the usual behaviour of anthracene derivatives, compound 11 , irradiated in cyclohexane, produced the two expected [4+4]cycloadducts 12 and 13 ( anti and syn photodimers, respectively). These facts point to the role of the connecting link between the rigid core and the flexible chain for some self‐assembled systems.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
