New directions in supramolecular electronics

Abstract

Supramolecular organic electronics embodies one of the biggest promises made by supramolecular functional materials. Huge advancements have been made with regard to its theoretical and functional understanding over the past few decades. Among a lot of the unsolved problems that still exist, this review takes a look at a few that can be circumvented owing to some of the recent works. We have taken a critical look at supramolecular aspects of domain control, monodispersity and control of dynamics of π-conjugated molecular assemblies. We have discussed the most promising recent approaches in relevance to supramolecular electronics.
