title: Mixed donor-acceptor charge-transfer stacks formed via hierarchical self-assembly of a non-covalent amphiphilic foldamer.
abstract: A non-covalent, amphiphilic foldamer design leads to an efficient charge-transfer complex between dipyrene (donor) and naphthalene diimide (acceptor) derivatives, which further self-assembles into one-dimensional nanofibers with an alternate (mixed) donor-acceptor arrangement.
