چکیده

In this paper an expedient fabrication of uniform nanofibres from a planar arylene–ethynylene tetracycle molecule is reported. The long-range one-dimensional molecular arrangement, which is mainly due to the favourable π–π stacking between the planar shape-persistent molecules, is conducive to enhancement of the exciton migration along the long axis of nanofibres. Such extended exciton migration allows amplification of the fluorescence quenching of the nanofibre by surface-adsorbed chemical reagents, making it possible to construct sensory films consisting of an entangled mesh of the nanofibres, which possess a high sensing efficacy and fast response in vapour detection of explosives.

Tubular organization with coiled ribbon from amphiphilic rigid-flexible macrocycle.

We have synthesized an amphiphilic rigid-flexible macrocycle (fcoil = 0.68) consisting of hexa-p-phenylene and aliphatic polyether chain. The macrocyclic molecule in bulk state self-organizes into a 2-D body-centered rectangular structure (a = 4.3 nm and b = 6.3 nm). In aqueous solution, the macrocycle self-assembles into well-defined ribbonlike aggregates with a rod tilt relative to the ribbon...
