Aromatic nitrogen heterocyclics (ANHs) are known to preferentially self assemble in lateral fashion through edge-to-edge CH center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds. Exploiting this preferential lateral assembly of ANHs, we have engineered wavy layer architectures in the crystals of various substituted quinolines.</p>1 aShivakumar, Kota1 aVidyasagar, Adiyala1 aNaidu, Andra1 aGonnade, Rajesh, G.1 aSureshan, Kana, M.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/strength-weakness-role-ch-center-dot-center-dot-center-dot-n-hydrogen-bond-formation-wave-0
