Synthesis, properties, and self-assembly of 2,3-bis(n-octyl)hexaazatriphenylene

A hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) derivative that bears two n-octyl chains was designed and synthesized. Its photophysical and electrochemical properties have been investigated. SEM study revealed that it could self-assemble into well-ordered 1D nanoribbons or 2D microsheets, which depends on the polarity of the solvents used.

A novel hexaazatriphenylene derivative was synthesized and its photophysical, electrochemical, and self-assembly properties have been investigated.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
