- Abstract
Herein, we show that twisted molecular nanoribbons with as many as 322 atoms in the aromatic core are efficient gelators capable of self-assembling into ordered pi-gels with morphologies and sol-gel transitions that vary with the length of the nanoribbon. In addition, the nanoribbon gels show a red fluorescence and also pseudoconductivity values in the same range as current state-of-the-art pi-gels.
