ABSTRACT
Organic molecules with well-designed geometries and appropriate substituents can act as building blocks for providing dimension-controlled organized structures.1 Ordered arrangements of such molecules can facilitate the formation of soft materials2 such as liquid crystals3 and supramolecular gels4 that are extremely useful due to their abilities to change their bulk structures according to external conditions. One promising class of building blocks consists of pi-electronic molecules, with their highly planar structures enabling efcient stacking. In addition, they often exhibit optical absorption in the visible region, resulting in the ability to fabricate functional electronic materials.
