Self assembly of naphthalene diimide derivatives and process thereof
The present disclosure is in relation to nanotechnology/nanobiotechnology, in particular to nano, meso and micro structures of Naphthalene diimide derivatives. The disclosure provides a method for supramolecular self-assembling of Naphthalene diimide derivatives, its characteristics and its applications. The present disclosure also relates to self assembled nano, meso or micro-structures of the Naphthalene diimide derivatives.
1. A method of self-assembling naphthalene diimide derivative into nano, meso or micro structures, said method comprising:
dissolving the naphthalene diimide derivative in a solvent to form a solution; and
adding co-solvent to the solution to obtain the self-assembled nano, meso or microstructures,
wherein, said naphthalene diimide derivative is selected from a group consisting of derivatives of amino acids, methyl esters of amino acids and peptide or any combination thereof.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the amino acid is selected from a group comprising phenylalanine and tryptophan.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the peptide is selected from a group comprising phenylalanine-phenylalanine, tryptophan-tryptophan and phenylalanine-tryptophan or any combination thereof.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solvent is selected from a group comprising acetonitrile, methanol, dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylformamide.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the co-solvent is selected from a group comprising water, chloroform, dichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride and sodium hydroxide or any combination thereof.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the method is carried out at a temperature ranging from 0° C. to 100° C.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the method is carried out at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 30° C.
