Two-component gelation and morphology-dependent conductivity of a naphthalene-diimide (NDI) π-system by orthogonal hydrogen bonding

摘要

The utility of an external structure-directing agent to induce orthogonal H-bonding-mediated programmed supramolecular-assembly and gelation of an n-type NDI chromophore is reported. Further, the effect of π-stacking and morphology on electrical conductivity of semiconducting NDI building blocks is revealed.
