Complex assembly from planar and twisted π-conjugated molecules towards alloy helices and core-shell structures
Abstract
Manipulating the assembly of π-conjugated organic molecules into alloys to control composition and shape remains a largely unsolved problem. Here the authors show the co-assembly of two structurally similar organic semiconductors into two-component helices by control of their growth kinetics as well as the molar ratio of the building blocks.
