We report a cooperative ( i.e. , nucleation-elongation) self-assembling process of a core-substituted naphthalenediimide induced by a catalyst-free amino-yne click reaction at 298 K. The self-assembling process was initiated immediately in the presence of nuclei (seeds). The combination of the click reaction and the seeded self-assembling process paves the way for precise control over supramolecular assemblies of electron-deficient π-systems.
