单向压缩调控下卟啉、酞菁等共轭pi体系分子的可控Langmuir-Blodgett组装

Molecular assmebly is currently considered to be an efficient strategy for organized molecular associations. From the viewpoint of the involved molecules, pi-conjugated species, such as porphyrins, phthalocyanines, etc., have received much attention as distinguished units for the formulation of supramolecular assemblies with motives for potential applications in various frontier fields. This is owing to their distinct chemical versatility, their fully understood planar and rigid molecular geometry, and their tunable spectroscopic features, which endow them with tunable spectroscopic, photophysical, photochemical, and assembly properties. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of assembly protocols, a variety of approaches, including Langmuir-Blodgett technique (LB), layer-by-layer assembly, organogelation, etc., have been developed. Among these, interfacial organization based on LB technique has been recognized to be an attractive way. This is owing to its nice reproducibility, low-cost, general applicability, etc. So far, numerous assemblies have been fabricated by conventional LB technique of bilateral compression. However, the precise structure of the assemblies, including staggering angle and direction, overlapping extent between the units, which could affect the functions of the assemblies, could not be controlled. It is still a great challenge to establish a general yet efficient LB based strategy to achieve such controllable assembly. In this application, we propose that such controllable assembly could be realized via a new-type LB technique. Instead of the bilateral compression that employed in the conventional LB technique, interfacial assemblies of pi-conjugated molecules, such as porphyrins and phthalocyanines etc. with precisely tunable structures (staggering angle and direction, overlapping extent between the units) will be accomplished by applying an unilateral compression geometry on our LB trough. Based on such controllable assembly, tunable functionality of the assemblies, including supramolecular chirality, photoelectronic devices, photocatalysts, etc., will be realized. The proposal will not only promote the innovative development of LB technique, but also paves new and varied avenues for the controllable assembly and tunable functionality of organic based supramolecular materials, which are of paramount importance for disclosing the intimate correlation between the internal molecular arrangement and external functions, and are projects of broad interest and general concern. Based on the possible achievements of the proposed investigations, the cooperative stacking principle of the involved building blocks, and the electron/energy transfer principle within the assemblies, which are the basic scientific issues of scientific community, will be disclosed from the viewpoint of interfacial molecular assembly. Our proposal is an important subject of sufficient novelty and creativity worth of investigation and support.
