  abstract  = {The research presented in this thesis illustrates that self-assembly of organic molecules guided by intermolecular forces is a versatile bottom-up approach towards functional materials. Through the specific design of the monomers, supramolecular architectures with distinct spatial arrangement of the individual building blocks can be realized. Particularly intriguing materials can be achieved when applying the supramolecular approach to molecules forming liquid-crystalline phases as these arrange in ordered, yet mobile structures. Therefore, they exhibit anisotropic properties on a macroscopic level. It is pivotal to precisely control the interchromophoric arrangement as functions originate in the complex structures that are formed upon self-assembly. Consequently, the aim of this thesis was the synthesis and characterization of liquid-crystalline phases with defined supramolecular arrangements as well as the investigation of the structure-property relationship. For this purpose, perylene bisimide and diketopyrrolopyrrole chromophores were used as they constitute ideal building blocks towards functional supramolecular materials due to their thermal stability, lightfastness, as well as excellent optical and electronic features desirable for the application in, e.g., organic electronics.},
