Tunable light emission from co-assembled structures of benzothiadiazole molecules

Abstract

Co-assembled structures possessing tunable light emission from 510–690 nm have been prepared using various compositions of two different 4,7-substituted benzothiadiazole molecules, 1 and 2. The preferential incorporation and co-localization of 1 and 2 to produce co-assemblies are possible because of structural similarities and allow for tuning of morphology and light emission.
