The formation of supramolecular polymers in water through rational design of a benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) motif is presented. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic effects cooperate in the self-assembly into long fibrillar aggregates. Minimal changes in molecular structure significantly affect the internal packing of the aggregates.
