Figure 4. SAXS experimental profiles and fittings of the morphological transition from the two homochiral cylinders 3 and 4 to stereocomplex spheres.

Conducted at 65 °C with the addition of fresh THF at the beginning of the self-assembly. (a) SAXS experimental profiles during the entire self-assembly process: a change of morphology is observed, with a decrease of the radius of the morphology as the curve inflexions move to higher q-values with time. (b–d) Fitting of some experimental profiles with different models: cylinder (b) and a linear combination of sphere and cylinder (c,d), see also Supplementary Table 2.
