Molecularly Assembled Nanostructures of a Redox-Active Organogelator

Introduction of an ethylenedithio group into an amphiphilic bis(tetrathiafulvalene) annulated macrocycle results in the formation of organogels which produce nanodot‐array structures in Langmuir–Blodgett films (see picture). Chemical oxidation of the sulphur‐containing π‐electron system afforded size‐controllable electrically conducting nanodot structures.
