Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 24The Design and Fabrication of Supramolecular Semiconductor Nanowires Formed by Benzothienobenzothiophene (BTBT)-Conjugated Peptides(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2018) Khalily, Mohammad Aref; Usta, Hakan; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Bakan, Gokhan; Dikecoglu, F. Begum; Edwards-Gayle, Charlotte; Guler, Mustafa O.pi-Conjugated small molecules based on a [1]benzothieno[3,2-b]benzothiophene (BTBT) unit are of great research interest in the development of solution-processable semiconducting materials owing to their excellent charge-transport characteristics. However, the BTBT -core has yet to be demonstrated in the form of electro-active one-dimensional (1D) nanowires that are self-assembled in aqueous media for potential use in bioelectronics and tissue engineering. Here we report the design, synthesis, and self-assembly of benzothienobenzothiophene (BTBT)-peptide conjugates, the BTBT-peptide (BTBT-C-3-COHN-Ahx-VVAGKK-Am) and the C-8-BTBT-peptide (C-8-BTBT-C-3-COHN-Ahx-VVAGKK-Am), as -sheet forming amphiphilic molecules, which self-assemble into highly uniform nanofibers in water with diameters of 11-13(+/- 1) nm and micron-size lengths. Spectroscopic characterization studies demonstrate the J-type - interactions among the BTBT molecules within the hydrophobic core of the self-assembled nanofibers yielding an electrical conductivity as high as 6.0 x 10(-6) S cm(-1). The BTBT -core is demonstrated, for the first time, in the formation of self-assembled peptide 1D nanostructures in aqueous media for potential use in tissue engineering, bioelectronics and (opto)electronics. The conductivity achieved here is one of the highest reported to date in a non-doped state.Article Citation - WoS: 75Citation - Scopus: 80From 2-Methylimidazole to 1,2,3-Triazole: A Topological Transformation of ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 by Post-Synthetic Modification(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2017) Erkartal, Mustafa; Erkilic, Ufuk; Tam, Benjamin; Usta, Hakan; Yazaydin, Ozgur; Hupp, Joseph T.; Sen, UnalBridging ligand replacement in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, ZIF-8 and ZIF-67, by 1,2,3-triazole was investigated. A complete substitution of 2-methylimidazole by 1,2,3-triazole resulted in a topological transformation of the parent framework from a sodalite (SOD) network to a diamond (DIA) network.
