Cover Feature: A Biomimetic Supramolecular Approach for Charge Transfer between Donor and Acceptor Chromophores with Aggregation‐Induced Emission (Chem. Eur. J. 55/2018)

Abstract

A supramolecular approach is used to assemble an electron donor and acceptor pair on the fibers of a molecular gelator. The donor and acceptor chromophores exhibit aggregation‐induced emission, a phenomenon which eliminates the self‐quenching problem. A high efficiency of charge transfer, which involves both static and dynamic processes, from donor to acceptor chromophore is perceived. This approach anticipates the design of optoelectronic materials that can achieve a high charge transfer efficiency for organic electronic applications.
