Saturated antisolvent pressure induced perylene diimide nanowires with high degree of electron delocalization

Perylene diimide (PDI) nanowires were fabricated by saturated antisolvent pressure induced method. The antisolvent facilitates PDI molecules aggregation forming clusters because of the local supersaturation at the interface. When the cluster size reaches critical size, the antisolvent would promote clusters assembling along one-dimension gradually. The decreased decay lifetime of PDI nanowires illustrates the changeable PDI molecule conformation...
