Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we have developed a new concept for the construction of organic supramolecular nanoassembly and prepared key organic pi-electron systems for the studies on their multifunctional properties. We have successfully synthesized a series of giant conjugated macrocycles and constructed their self-assembled nanostructures. The most remarkable properties were obtained from pi-expanded macrocyclic oligothiophene 6-mer and 8-mer. The 6-mer showed a thermally reversible polymorphism, which was applied to either fluorescence switching or switching of field effect transistor (FET) activity and electrical conductivity. The 8-mer formed a Saturn-like complex with C60 in the solid state, and this complex exhibited repeatable and stable instantaneous response of photocurrent.
