Key Points

To explore how sulphated glycosaminoglycans influence the self-assembly of naphthalene diimide into fluorescent structures.
Utilized amphiphilic and cationic naphthalene diimide compounds.
Examined binding interactions with sulphated glycosaminoglycans.
Analyzed self-assembly processes of the chromophores.
Binds selectively to sulphated glycosaminoglycans; enhances self-assembly.
Forms highly fluorescent nanofibers with distinct structural properties.
Demonstrates potential for bio-synthetic hybrid nanomaterials.

Implication

Novel amphiphilic cationic naphthalene diimide forms fluorescent nanofibers through biomolecular recognition.

Abstract

The self- assembly of π-conjugated chromophores directed by biomolecular recognition offers a smart strategy to create bio-synthetic hybrid nanomaterials with emergent properties. Here, we report a novel amphiphilic, cationic naphthalene...
