| Sumario: | In the 20th century, science and technology have enormously progressed with strong impact in the style and quality of human life. Nowadays, nanoscience and nanotechnology offer the new avenue for the development of new smart and applicable materials of ultra-small size (in the range of 1-100nm). Thanks to the small size of nanomaterials, they can easily interact with biomolecules either on the cell’s surface or inside them; as a consequence, these materials represent promising alternatives to detect and treat diseases in such a way that was unthinkable in a recent past. In order to achieve these nanomaterials, chemists have resorted to the bottom-up approach which consists in the self-assembly of small molecules that serves as scaffolds for the construction of nanostructures with tailored sizes, forms and properties. In this context, the present thesis is framed on the study of bioinspired electroactive molecules that self-assemble giving rise to new functional nanomaterials. For this end, a variety of peptides functionalized with electroactive units such as -extended TTF (exTTF), C60 and porphyrins were studied... |
