Formula: C6H12Br2 And the article was included in Chemistry – A European Journal in 2020. The article conveys some information:
Recent developments in kinetically controlled supramol. polymerization permit control of the size (i.e., length and area) of self-assembled nanostructures. However, control of mol. self-assembly at a level comparable with organic synthetic chem. and the achievement of structural complexity at a hierarchy larger than the mol. level remain challenging. This study focuses on controlling the aspect ratio of supramol. nanosheets. A systematic understanding of the relationship between the monomer structure and the self-assembly energy landscape has derived a new monomer capable of forming supramol. nanosheets. With this monomer in hand, the aspect ratio of a supramol. nanosheet is demonstrated that it can be controlled by modulating intermol. interactions in two dimensions. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of 1,6-Dibromohexane(cas: 629-03-8Formula: C6H12Br2)
1,6-Dibromohexane(cas: 629-03-8) is generally used to introduce C6 spacer in the molecular architecture. Some of the examples are: synthesis of solvent processable and conductive polyfluorene ionomers for alkaline fuel cell applications; synthesis of cross-linkable regioregular poly(3-(5-hexenyl)thiophene) (P3HNT) for stabilizing the film morphology in polymer photovoltaic cells.Formula: C6H12Br2
