Organic single-nanofiber transistors from organogels.

The self-assembly of molecules in a gel by strong pi-pi stacking interactions between the thienylvinylene anthracene backbones and van der Waals interactions between the long alkyl chains has generated nanofibers; from the organogels, organic single-nanofiber transistors were successfully embodied.

Self-assembly and binding properties of a metallomacrocycle having two interactive binding subcavities.

A metallomacrocycle containing two topologically discrete binding subcavities is self-assembled and shows a positive homotropic cooperative binding behavior.
