Molecularly Assembled Nanostructures of a Redox‐Active Organogelator

Abstract

Introduction of an ethylenedithio group into an amphiphilic bis(tetrathiafulvalene) annulated macrocycle results in the formation of organogels which produce nanodot-array structures in Langmuir–Blodgett films (see picture). Chemical oxidation of the sulphur-containing π-electron system afforded size-controllable electrically conducting nanodot structures.
