Abstract:
We report a novel set of easily tailorable C3 symmetric molecules with a π-extended core and adorned with different thioalkyl groups, exhibiting solvatofluorochromic and amphoteric redox behaviour. The nearly planar core exhibits intermolecular face-to-face π-stacking, SS and intramolecular SO interactions. Current-sensing atomic force microscopy studies revealed a high conductivity of ∼0.15 mS cm-1 in the undoped J-aggregate nanofibres of the thiopropyl appended gelator.
