Structure and Self-Assembly of Multicolored Naphthalene Diimides Semiconductor

Abstract

The one-dimensional (1D) self-assembly of [Formula: see text]-electron molecules offers efficient strategies to enhance energy and charge transfer via highly ordered and conductive [Formula: see text] stacking of the chromophores. The chromophore rich nanostructures have great potential to serve as promising candidate materials for optoelectronic devices. However, the design and control of highly ordered nanostructures with multicolored chromophore redox gradients require finely chosen synthetic strategies and a delicate balance of supramolecular interactions. In this paper, we will introduce new strategies focused on self-assembly of nanofibers based on lysine derivatives functionalized with multi colored chromophores.
