Self-assembled aggregates of amphiphilic perylene diimide-based semiconductor molecules: Effect of morphology on conductivity

► PDI 1 and 2 were fabricated into organic nanostructures with different morphology. ► Excellent conductivities of the PDI aggregates from methanol are obtained. ► PDI 1 nanobelts exhibited an unexpected high conductivity of 3.3 × 10−3 S cm−1.
