title: Ultrafine nanofibers fabricated from an arylene-ethynylene macrocyclic molecule using surface assisted self-assembly.
abstract: Large area uniform nanofibers have been fabricated from a hexameric arylene-ethynylene macrocycle (1) through in situ self-assembly on a glass substrate during solvent evaporation. The fibril morphology is controlled by the solvophilic core of 1, in conjunction with the interfacial interactions between the side chains of 1 and the substrate.
