Control of Luminescence Properties in Naphthalene Diimide-Based Gel with Azodibenzoic Acid by Charge Transfer Interaction

Abstract

The self-sorting between aromaticcompounds that can serve as electron donors and electronacceptors allows the formation of distinct p- and n-typebundles of fibers that further intermix and generate multiplejunction points for efficient electron transfer and transport ofthe charge carriers. However, a difficulty associated withsimple mixing of such compounds is the possibility of adifferent mode of assembly, i.e., charge-transfer interactionmediated by alternate donor–acceptor stacking. Thus, ex-amples related to self-sorting among donor–acceptor chromo-phores have been limited.
