General method for the synthesis of crystalline organic nanorods using porous alumina templates.
Nanorods composed of a variety of conjugated organic molecules were synthesized using an anodized alumina template and solvent annealing; detailed study of 200 nm thick 2,7-di-t-butylpyrene rods showed they are crystalline, with single domains extending over several microns.
