2D assemblies of pentacene constructed using the supramolecular scaffold demonstrated high efficiency in singlet fission, a process that can enhance solar cell performance.
A tripodal triptycene supramolecular scaffold developed by researchers at Science Tokyo could lead to significant advancements in the design of two-dimensional (2D) molecular assemblies. Researchers placed pentacene molecules between triptycene units, forming a 2D structure aligned over one dimension that showed high efficiency in singlet fission. This method offers a rational approach to designing 2D assemblies with various molecules, opening up new possibilities for advancements in materials science and electronics.
