Targeting 2D Nanostructures in Phase-Separated Materials through Molecular Design.

ABSTRACT: Oligomeric materials that spontaneously order into 2D morphologies are of interest for a broad range of applications. In the absence of molar mass dispersity, these materials are perfectly defined at the molecular level and have been shown to form sub-10 nm nanostructures. Consequently, such nanostructured oligomers exhibit intriguing properties for e.g., photophysical applications depending on their constituents. However, ab initio prediction of the obtained morphologies remains challenging. Therefore, we herein report a systematic approach to investigate the influence of molecular architecture as well as the influence of the pendant chain attached to the core on spontaneously phase-separated nanostructures. We synthesized 20 molecules containing discrete oligodimethylsiloxane (oDMS) and
