摘要
Organic semiconductor designing is one of the most fascinating work in organic chemistry. Combination of pyrene-1-aldehyde and polar amine produces neutral surfactant like title compound. The compound was characterized with single crystal X-ray crystallography. Using DFT, the hydrophobic nature of the molecule was identified. The non-covalent forces like van der Walls, C-H..& pi;, and & pi;..& pi; interactions are involved in the stability of the molecules in the solid-state. It has high electron concentration, at the C-H units of the entire molecule and due to the conjugation of & pi;-electrons, pyrene rings have low localized electrons and less available in the interactions. The single molecule of title compound is almost insulator whereas in the solid-state, very ordered molecular arrangements (through self-assembly) make it very good semiconductor.
