"H"-like Organic Nanowire Heterojunctions Constructed from Cooperative Molecular Assembly for Photonic Applications.

ABSTRACT: "H"-like organic nanowire heterojunctions with two parallel 2-acetyl-6-dimethylamino-naphthalene wires vertically bridged by one 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole wire are prepared via cooperative molecular assembly in liquid phase. The exciton conversion at the junction interfaces is beneficial for the design of multichannel light-controlled photo-switches. The results provide better understanding of molecular assembly toward specific structures and open up new prospects for the creation of novel photonic materials.
