Abstract

Smart single-component materials with versatile functions require pre-programming of a higher order molecular assembly. An electroactive supergelator (c=0.07 wt %) triphenylamine core-appended poly(aryl ether) dendron (TPAPAE) is described, where substantial dendritic effects improve the order and crystallinity by switching the local minima from self-assembled molecular wires to thermodynamically favorable global minima of ordered crystals, ripened within the fibers. Controlled in situ phase change at room temperature ultimately stabilized the mixed valence states in the single-component supramolecular assembly with photoluminescence and photoinduced charge transport amplified by two orders of magnitude.
