Abstract

Abstract : Hydrogen bonded self-assembly of a 1, 2-diol linked naphthalene diimide derivative features M -helical and J-type aggregation. In MCH/CHCl3, the compound exhibits intense yellow excimer and thermoreversible "sol–gel" behavior. Abstract : Self-assembly of a 1, 2-diol appended naphthalene diimide derivative featuring chiral and J-type aggregation is reported. In MCH/CHCl3, the compound exhibited intense yellow excimer and thermoreversible "sol–gel" behavior. Morphological and circular dichroism studies revealed long range M -helical nanofibre formation. A theoretical model of the cooperative hydrogen bonding was also proposed.
