Self‐Assembly and Microstructural Control of a Hexa‐<i>peri</i>‐hexabenzocoronene–Perylene Diimide Dyad by Solvent Vapor Diffusion

Abstract

Self-assembly and microstructural control of a hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene–perylene diimide dyad are systematically studied by employing solvent vapor diffusion as a novel processing method. The influence of a variety of processing parameters on the microstructure and molecular organization at the surface is investigated. By manipulating the surface energy and solvent polarity, dewetting effects may be fine-tuned and the various interactions at the surfaces may be controlled.
