Naphthalimide-based conjugated macrocycles possessing tunable self-assembly and supramolecular binding behaviours.

ABSTRACT: The special geometric configurations and optoelectronic properties of p-conjugated macrocycles have always been the focus of materials science. The incorporation of building moieties with different features into macrocycles can not only change their geometric configurations, but also realize the regulation of intramolecular charge transfer, which is expected to bring unusual performance in supramolecular chemistry and optoelectronic devices. Herein, four novel p-conjugated macrocycles based on typical electron acceptor units naphthalimide (NMI) with aryl or alkyl substitutions were reported. The different substitutions on NMI had greatly affected the self-assembly behaviours of these macrocycles. Alkyl substituted NP2b and NP3b showed obvious self-aggregation in
