- Abstract
Abstract: The peptide‐driven formation of charge transfer (CT) supramolecular gels featuring both directional hydrogen‐bonding and donor–acceptor (D‐A) complexation is reported. Our design consists of the coassembly of two dipeptide–chromophore conjugates, namely diphenylalanine (FF) dipeptide conveniently functionalized at the N‐terminus with either a pyrene (<bold>Py‐1</bold>, donor) or naphthalene diimide (<bold>NDI‐1</bold>, acceptor). UV/Vis spectroscopy confirmed the formation of CT complexes. FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy studies underlined the pivotal role of hydrogen bonding in the gelation process, and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements unraveled the advantage of preorganized CT supramolecular architectures for charge transport over solutions containing non‐coassembled D and A molecular systems.
