J. Faul, and co-workers on page 3430 to identify and confirm cis/trans isomers of phenyl- and alkyl-capped tetra(aniline). This isomerism is shown to inhibit molecular self-assembly and therefore influence the performance of such molecules, and their parent polymer, poly(aniline), when confined to thin films for device applications.Read More
