| Abstract: | Self‐assembly of pyrene butyric acid (PBA) and 2,4,7‐trinitro‐9H‐fluoren‐9‐one (TNF) directed by a pyridine‐linked cholesterol unit resulted in the formation of a conducting material (1.9472×10?4 S Cm?1) due to the formation of 1 D nanofibers. X‐ray diffraction, IR, and atomic force microscopic (AFM) techniques were used to establish the mechanism of the self‐assembly of the multicomponent gels. Results indicate efficient charge transfer in the 1 D nanofibers, assisted by hydrogen bonding. |
