Rod-coil systems consisting of rigid rod and flexible coil segments are excellent candidates for creating well defined supramolecular structures via a process of spontaneous organization. Recently, we have synthesized the laterally tethered rod-coil molecules, based on oligo(ethylene oxide) dendrons, with variation in the volume ratio of dendrons. The laterally tethered molecule based on flexible segment was observed to self-assemble into a stepped ribbon oblique columnar structure in a solid state and well-defined nanofiber in a aqueous solution, also exhibited dispersed nematic gel on 2wt% of aqueous solution. These results demonstrate that rational design of a self-assembling molecule based on a laterally tethered rod building block allows stable nanostructures to be produced in solid state and solution state. These nanostructures potentially have a number of applications, including the nanoconductor. |
