Experimental Procedures THF and dichloromethane were dried distilling from sodium or calcium hydride respectively. All melting points were determined by means of a Kofler hot-plate melting-point apparatus and are uncorrected. Solution 1 H-, and 13 C-NMR spectra were recorded with Bruker 200, 300, 400, or 600 MHz spectrometers. The following abbreviations have been used to state the multiplicity of the signals: s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet) and m (multiplet). Chemical shifts (δ) in the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra are referenced to tetramethylsilane (TMS). Diffusion NMR experiments (DOSY) were recorded with a Bruker 600 spectrometer (1H) using the LED-BPP sequence with a diffusion period ( ) of 150 ms, field gradient pulses (δ) of 4 ms applied as half-sine profile bipolar pairs and an LED period of 5 ms. Field gradients were varied from 2-90% of maximum (53 G/cm) in 16 steps and data were analysed using Bruker TOPSPIN 2.1 software. Sample temperature was regulated at 293K. UV vis and fluorescence spectra were carried out in the solvents and concentrations stated in the text and in the corresponding figure captions, using a dissolution cell with 10 mm path length, and they were recorded with the spectra background corrected before and after sequential additions of different aliquots of anions Mass spectra were recorded with a Fisons AUTOSPEC 500 VG spectrometer and FAB+ mass spectra were carried out with 3-nitrobenzylalcohol as a matrix. Microanalyses were performed with a Carlo Erba 1108 instrument. Dynamic Light Scattering analyses were performed using a Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Instruments Ltd, UK) at 25ºC and a 173 angle relative to the source. The hydrodynamic diameter distributions were obtained by volume using the software package of the apparatus. Each curve represents the average of 3 measurements (16 runs each). Prior to analysis, all solutions were filtered. Scaning electron microscopy (SEM) was perfermed using a JSM-6100 scanning microscope instrument and the images were obtained with the INCA software (Oxford Instrument). The samples were prepared on cover glass, which was cleaned using nitric acid prior to use. The cover glass was then dropped into a polymer solution in CH 3 CN/MeOH 9:1. The supramolecular polymer in solid state on the cover glass was obtained by the vapour diffusion of diethyl ether into a solution of the polymer. Then the cover glass was dried for 16h at 25ºC and the gold film was deposited by a SEM coating system Bio Rad Polaron Division prior to perform the analyses. X-Ray Structure Determinations. Intensities were registered at low temperature on a Bruker D8QUEST diffractometer using monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073Å). Absorption corrections were based on multi-scans (program SADABS). Structures were refined anisotropically using SHELXL- 2016. [1] Hydrogen atoms were included using rigid methyl groups or a riding model. Special features and exceptions: The iodine atoms are disordered over two positions, I1 (64:38%) and I2 (52:48%). One NO 2 ligand is disordered over two positions, 51:49%. The sulphate anion is also disordered over two positions, 69:32%. S2

PART III: Cooperative model analyses. In order to elaborate the cooperative model used to describe the thermodynamcis of the formation of the heteromonomer supramolecular polymers we have used the same strategy previously applied [2] to describe the polymerization of a single monomer. The cooperative model is composed of one initial nucleation equilibrium followed by sucessive elongation steps where A, B and (AB) i denote the two monomers and the supramolecular polymer of length i, and K N and K E are the equilibrium constants for the nucleation and elongation steps. The nucleation step is usually less favoured that the elongation steps so that K N << K E, and the elongation equilibrium constants are considered to have the same value. From Equation (1) we can express the concentration of the polymers in terms of [A] and [B] as follows The total concentration of A (C A ) is then given by where the identity S9
was used in the last step. Following a similar procedure we obtain We note that from Equations (3) and (4) we can also derive which is a direct consequence from the stechiometry of Equation (1). Equations (3) and (4) stablish the relationship between the total concentration of A and B (C A and C B ), quantities decided at the begining of the experiment, and their values at equilibrium ([A] and [B]), quantities directly related to the meassurement of some experimental quantity, the NMR shift in our present study. Consequently they can be used to obtain through a nonlinear curve fitting analysis the values of the K N and K E equilibrium constants of the model that better reproduce the experimental data. S10
