Self‐Organization of Hydrogen‐Bonding Naphthalene Chromophores into J‐type Nanorings and H‐type Nanorods: Impact of Regioisomerism

Regioisomers of self-assembling molecules resulted in the evolution of distinct 0D and 1D nanostructures, namely nanorings and nanorods (see picture). J- and H-type excitonic coupling of naphthalene chromophores was found in the nanostructures. The bulk liquid-crystalline states contain hydrogen-bonded rosettes, which explains how the observed regioisomers generate distinct nanostructures with characteristic excitonic interactions.
