| Summary: | The properties of π-conjugated compounds, including luminescence, charge transport and electronic conductivity, have made them strong candidates for applications in organic electronics. To attain efficient materials based on aromatic scaffolds, the control over the different hierarchical levels of organization has been demonstrated to be mandatory. Supramolecular polymerization, i.e., the formation of macromolecules through the establishment of reversible non-covalent interactions among monomers, has been envisioned as a proper tool to adequately organize π-extended scaffolds, yielding well-defined mono dimensional structures. Notably, the electronic coupling between π-conjugated molecules gives rise to functionalities and properties non-exhibited by single building blocks, widening the scope of organic semiconductors. The thermodynamic aspects of supramolecular polymerization processes have been accurately described through isodesmic and cooperative mechanisms, producing macromolecules with different features depending on the mechanism... |
