Narcissistic Self-Sorting of n-Acene Nano-Ribbons yielding Energy-Transfer and Electroluminescence at p-n Junctions

Résumé

The 2,3-didecyloxy-derivative of an n-type anthracene (n-BG) and a p-type tetracene (p-R) have been synthesized and their self-assembly into nano-ribbons studied. Hyperspectral fluorescence imaging revealed their narcissistic self-sorting, leading to separated nanoribbons emitting with very different colors (blue or green for n-BG, depending on the growth solvent, and red for p-R). It is unique that the usual origins of self-sorting, such as specific H-bonding, different growth kinetics, or incompatible steric hindrance can be ruled out. Hence, the narcissistic behaviour is herein proposed to originate from a sofar unconsidered cause: the discrepancy between the quadrupolar character of n-BG and dipolar character of p-R. At the pn-junctions of these nanoribbons, inter-ribbon FRET and electro-luminescence switch-on were observed by fluorescence microscopy.
