Abstract

An amphiphilic tetrathiafulvalene molecule was designed and readily synthesized. The am-TTF can gelate a variety of organic solvents in view of multiple intermolecular interactions, especially in polar solvent. SEM observation provided clear evidence for the self-assembled micro/nanofibers morphologies in gelation state. Moreover, XRD measurements indicated the formation of highly-ordered columnar structures. The FT-IR spectra revealed that the formation of mixed-valence states with the absorption over 1700 cm−1, showing the semiconductive behaviors with the conductivity of 10−4 S/cm. The am-TTF based conducting fibers could be promising candidates for organic electronics.
