Cover Feature: Self‐Assembly of Clicked Star‐Shaped Triazines into Functional Nanostructures (ChemNanoMat 1/2019)

Precise control of the morphology and emission properties is reported for the self-assembled nanostructures of two non-amphiphilic star-shape 2,4,6-tris(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine derivatives. A variety of exciting architectures such as spherical particles, one-hole hollow spheres, toroids, twisted fibers and helical nanotubes have been obtained in a controlled way by using a straightforward reprecipitation method. Interestingly, aggregation induced emission (AIE) has been observed. Quantum-chemical calculations provide insight into the aggregation and optical properties.
