Controlling the Structures and Photonic Properties of Organic Nanomaterials by Molecular Design

Abstract

Exploring the stacks: Two different but related naphthalene compounds were shown to form different nanostructures (see picture) depending on the π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding of the molecules. These nanostructures had unique photonic confinement and light-propagation characteristics, which show potential for nanophotonic circuits.
