Abstract:
Morphology variation: The Boc-alanine linked OPV exhibits an unprecedented formation of periodic macroporous honeycomb structures in chloroform and aligned fiber bundles in toluene (see SEM images). This represents a unique example for a distinct morphology change of an organogelator from macroporous honeycomb to aligned fiber bundles upon changing the solvent.
