Self-assembly of tetrathiafulvalenes, their conjugated oligo-mers, and giant macrocyclic oligothiophenes in solution leads to important solvatochromic, thermochromic, electrochromic, and switching properties. Furthermore, based on the self-assembly in solution, various nanostructures can be constructed in the solid state to produce nanowires, nanoparticles, nanotubes, tapes, ribbons, and microcrystals. This article highlights the self-aggregation of organic π-donors in solution and the formation of nanostructures from these π-donors in the solid state. |
