Hydrogen‐Bonding Directed Assembly and Gelation of Donor–Acceptor Chromophores: Supramolecular Reorganization from a Charge‐Transfer State to a Self‐Sorted State

Abstract

Dynamic supramolecular assembly: Solvent polarity plays a critical role in hydrogen-bonding-mediated assembly of bis(amide)-functionalized naphthalenediimide acceptor and dialkoxynaphthalene donor chromophores. In tetrachloroethylene, a stable, charge-transfer (CT) gel was achieved, whereas in methylcyclohexane a CT state was initially formed that gradually switched over to the more stable self-sorted state (see graphic).
