Popis: Construction of large-area electron donor–acceptor (D–A) interfaces and hole/electron pathways is important for photoconducting and photovoltaic functions. Although blends of D- and A-type discotic π-systems have a possibility to realize one-dimensional charge carrier pathways as well as heterointerfaces, D–A segregated structures are difficult to develop by self-assembly because they are entropically unfavored structures. Here we report the use of shish-kebab-type hole-transporting discotic columns fixed by a self-threading polysiloxane chain and approach to such segregated nanostructures. Electron-donor/acceptor blends of soluble phthalocyaninatopolysiloxanes (Poly-SiPcs) and perylenedicarboximides (PDIs) were prepared, and their photoconductive property was investigated. Although Poly-SiPc1 shows a photoinduced charge separation with PDI1 analogous to the corresponding monomeric phthalocyanines (SiPc1 and H2Pc1), the Poly-SiPc1/PDI1 system displays a remarkably larger photoconductivity than SiPc1/PDI1 ...
