It is an object of the present invention to provide molecular compounds
useful in the fields of state-of the-art materials, such as formulations,
waste water treatments, energy transducers, conductors and bio-model
reactions, in a way that interaction points and forces working inside
polymer assemblies are fixed as well as controlled so that constituent
polymers are aligned and modified. It is also an object of the present
invention to provide methods for aligning and/or modifying polymers
having hydrogen bond sites. A molecular compound is produced from a
tetrakis aryl compound represented by Formula (I) (wherein, X is
(CH.sub.2).sub.n, or p-phenylene; n is 0, 1, 2 or 3; Y is hydroxyl,
carboxyl or optionally substituted amino: and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are
each hydrogen, lower alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl, halogen or
lower alkoxy) and a polymer having hydrogen bond sites, such as
polyethers, polyalcohols or polyamines. ##STR00001##
