Fabrication of low-dimension nanostructures based on organic conjugated molecules
The aim of this article is to explore the fundamental and technological incentive for the molecular design, synthesis, and aggregation behavior of conjugated organic molecules with photo-electronic activity, and the fabrication of low-dimensional organic conjugated nanomaterials by self-assembly techniques. The properties of large oriented nanostructure arrays of organic charge transfer complexes based on conjugated molecules are also discussed. The dimension-dependent emission properties have been observed, and conductivity, field emission properties, and sensing properties have been studied for the low dimensional nanostructures of nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods, and nanostructure arrays.
