Conductive One-Handed Nanocoils by Coassembly of Hexabenzocoronenes:Control of Morphology and Helical Chirality

摘要

Electroconductive one-handed helical nanofibers are attractive in view of their potential for the realization of nanoscale solenoids.While there are many reported examples of the construction of helical nanofibers by self-assembly of pi-electronic molecules,most of these involve twisted ribbons,which do not provide the coiled pathways essential for electromagnetic properties.
