Figure 1. Structural aspects of CS-DMV nanofibres.

Figure 1

(a) Molecular structure and schematic of the CT complex involving co-facial arrangement of the aromatic donor, coronene tetracarboxylate (CS) and the acceptor, dodecyl methyl viologen derivative (DMV) (top). The stacking of the complex units to form a cylindrical micelle in presence of water, is depicted. (b) Tapping mode AFM image of a nanofibre carpet film. The z scale in the image is 20 nm. (c) XRD pattern of the film measured in ambient conditions (26°C, 35% RH). The peak at 2θ ≈ 25.031° corresponds to d-spacing of 3.5545 Å rising from the π-π stacking in nanofibres.
