Cruciforms: Assembling Single Crystal Micro- and Nanostructures from One to Three Dimensions and Their Applications in Organic Field-Effect Transistors

摘要

The self-assembly behaviors and charge transport properties of cruciforms with anthracene as one axis were studied. By changing one axis of these cruciforms, the assembly morphologies of single crystal microanostructures transferred from one dimension to three dimensions. This morphology transformation was controlled by the intermolecular interactions of cruciforms, which was proved by single crystal X-ray diffraction results and presented a facile way to synthesize different dimensional microanostructures through molecular design. Field-effect transistors based on individual single crystal microanostructure exhibited high performance. These results suggested the potential applications of cruciform in organic electronics.
