Hierarchic self-organization of J-aggregates in micrometer size discotic liquid crystal 'domes'

Gold nanoparticles (NPs) were surface functionalized with hexanethiol groups and chiral nematic discogen ligands. A superlattice, liquid crystal behaviour and helix formation of the discs and a second helical organisation of the NPs were detected.

AbstractPotentially n-type and p-type semi-conducting discotic liquid crystal dyes are linked together to star-shaped heptamers, which might self-organize into super-columns of separated p-type and n-type columnar stacks. Their synthesis, mesomorphism, and electronic properties will be discussed along with their potential use in photovoltaic devices.
