Fluorescent coronene monoimide gels via H-bonding induced frustrated dipolar assembly

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Feb 1;48(10):1467-9. doi: 10.1039/c1cc14990c. Epub 2011 Sep 26.

Abstract

Two stage self-assembly of novel coronene monoimide (CMI) based gels that results in resurfacing of monomer emission in the aggregated state is reported. This process is attributed to a frustrated head-head dipolar assembly forced by hydrogen bonding.
