Fully conjugated macrocyclic oligothiophenes exhibit a combination of highly attractive structural, optical and electronic properties, and multifunctional molecular thin film architectures thereof are envisioned. However, control over the self-assembly of such systems becomes increasingly challenging, the more complex the target structures are. Here we show a robust self-assembly based on hiera...

Abstract The synthesis and characterization of three new inherently chiral N , N′ ‐dipropyl‐3,3′‐diheteroaryl‐2,2′‐biindole monomers, nicknamed Ind 2 T 4 6 Ph which differ in the number thiophenes as terminals, are reported. In addition to a full monomer characterization, stable electroactive oligomeric films were obtained by electro‐oxidation upon cycling potentials activate thiophene terminal...

A synthetic approach for achieving redox amphoteric molecules is shown. Materials characterization indicates a complex electronic scenario that goes beyond the cumulative effects of independent molecular units constituting assembly.
