Controlling the Crystal Packing and Morphology of Metal–Organic Macrocycles through Side-Chain Modification
Supramolecular nanotubes constructed from the self-assembly of conjugated metal–organic macrocycles provide a unique collection of materials properties, including solution processability, porosity, and electrical conductivity. Here we show how small modifications to the macrocycle periphery subtly alter the noncovalent interactions governing self-assembly, leading to large changes in crystal packing, crystal morphology, and materials properties. Specifically, we synthesized five distinct copper-based macrocycles that differ in either the steric bulk, polarity, or hydrogen-bonding ability of the peripheral side chains. We show that the electrical conductivity of these macrocycles is highly sensitive to steric bulk, decreasing by 3 orders of magnitude upon introduction of peripheral neopentyl substituents. We further show that the introduction of hydrogen-bonding groups leads to more ordered packing and a dramatic increase in crystallite size. Together, these results establish side-chain engineering as a rich toolkit for controlling the packing structure, particle morphology, and bulk properties of conjugated metal–organic macrocycles.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
