Key Points

This research aims to explore the odd-even spacer-length effect on supramolecular polymerization and piezoelectricity of amide-functionalized naphthalene-diimide derivatives.
Varying spacer lengths (methylenes n = 1-4) between NDI-core and amide groups.
Conducting molecular dynamics simulations to analyze structural differences.
Assessing thermal stability and piezoelectric properties through experimental measurements.
Even-spacer derivatives show higher thermal stability and gel-phase elasticity compared to odd-spacer derivatives.
Even-spacer monomers favor more stable elongation and exhibit significantly higher cooperativity (specific measurements not provided).
Odd-spacer derivatives display markedly different dipole orientations, resulting in increased piezoelectric coefficients (exact values not provided).

We only have this paper's title and publication details.
