Self-Assembly of Porphyrin and Fullerene Supramolecular Complex into Highly Ordered Nanostructure by Simple Thermal Annealing

摘要

Controlling the nature of supramolecular self-assembly by noncovalent interaction is a challenge in science and technology that, when overcome, can lead to a breakthrough in the creation of new molecular devices. Discotic liquid crystals (LCs) capable of being uniformly aligned represent a striking example of self-assembly mainly driven by π—π interactions.
