Coordination-directed self-assembly of a simple benzothiadiazole-fused tetrathiafulvalene to low-bandgap metallogels

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Oct 18;51(81):15063-6. doi: 10.1039/c5cc06819c.

Abstract

Coordination-driven gelation of a benzothiadiazole-fused tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is demonstrated. This is the first work reporting highly stable metallogels based on a donor-acceptor conjugate with such a simple structure for the construction of new low-bandgap materials with various functional properties and novel nanostructures.
