Precise heteroatom doping determines aqueous solubility and self-assembly behaviors for polycyclic aromatic skeletons
Enhancing the hydrophilicity of hydrophobic molecular scaffolds allows to increase their aqueous solubility and therefore their usability for a range of applications. Here, N/O heteroatom doping of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is shown to switch the skeleton from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, enha...
