Chiral molecular tapes from novel tetra(thiafulvalene-crown-ether)-substituted phthalocyanine building blocks.
A tetra(thiafulvalene-crown-ether) phthalocyanine self-assembles into helical tapes nanometers wide and micrometers long. Formation of these scrolled molecular architectures is a first for phthalocyanine fibres and shows potential as a novel conducting material.
