Nanofibril Self-Assembly of an Arylene Ethynylene Macrocycle

摘要

Nanostructured,one-dimensional(1D)morphologies composed of electronically active constituents are likely to become important in the fabrication of nanoscale optoelectronic devices.Due to their straightforward synthesis and unique molecular structure that includes large-area,shape-persistent pi-surfaces,arylene ethynylene macrocycle(AEM)molecules have gained increasing interest,particularly for application in nanomaterials and nanodevices.The large planar(or nearly planar)molecular surfaces of AEMs are expected to promote pi-pi stacking,thus enabling efficient intermolecular electronic coupling.
