摘要

A rational approach to the design of supramolecular organogels of all-trans oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) (OPV) derivatives, a class of well-known organic semiconductor precursors, is reported. Self-assembly of these molecules induced gelation of hydrocarbon solvents at low concentrations (< 1 mm), resulting in high aspect ratio nanostructures. Electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies revealed twisted and entangled supramolecular tapes of an average of 50-200 nm in width, 12-20 nm in thickness, and several micrometers in length. The hierarchical growth of the entangled tapes and the consequent gelation is attributed to the lamellar-type packing of the molecules, facilitated by cooperative hydrogen bonding, pi stacking, and van der Waals interactions between the OPV units. Gelation of OPVs induced remarkable changes in the absorption and emission properties, which indicated strong electronic interaction in the aggregated chromophores. Comparison of the absorption and emission spectra in the gel form and in the solid film indicated a similar chromophore organization in both phases. The presence of self-assembled aggregates of OPVs was confirmed by solvent- and temperature-dependent changes in the absorption and emission properties, and by selective excitation experiments. This is the first detailed report of the gelation-induced formation of OPV nanotapes, assisted by weak, nondirectional hydrogen-bonding motifs and pi-pi stacking. These findings may provide opportunities for the design of a new class of functional soft materials and nanoarchitectures, based on pi-conjugated organic semiconductor-type molecules, thereby enabling the manipulation of their optical properties.
