Highly Fluorescent Rigid Supramolecular Polymeric Nanowires Constructed Through Multiple Hydrogen Bonds

Abstract

Supramolecular polymeric nanowires 1(n) constructed by a 3D shape-persistent hexaacid 1 through multiple hydrogen bonding interactions was developed. Single molecular nanoires were also obtained from its highly dilute solution.Hexaacid 1 containing pi-conjugated chromophores successfully self-assembled to afford these nanofibers with high solid quantum efficiency (22%), which provides us a pathway to fabricate optoelectronic devices using these highly fluorescent nanofibers.
