Supramolecular organization of π-conjugated chromophores into well defined nanostructures has gained much attention due to their promising role as active components in organic electronics. Charge-transfer (CT) nanostructures, in which aromatic donor (D) and acceptor (A) molecules are alternately arranged, (mixed stack) have emerged recently as prospective candidates in this direction, because they provide inherent, uniform doping conducive for excellent conducting properties. The present perspective highlights the importance of charge transfer (CT) based non-covalent interactions, with emphasis on supramolecular design principles, for construction of various CT nano-architectures. The whole article is divided into three parts themed on the type of interactions used for obtaining CT assemblies. Through some of our recent results, we have attempted to highlight the latent potential of this nascent field. Furthermore, we have presented our perspectives on the major challenges in this field which is expected to broaden the scope of this subject.
由于在有机电子学中作为活性成分的巨大潜力，π 共轭发色团的超分子组织成明确的纳米结构受到了广泛关注。电荷转移（CT）纳米结构，其中芳香供体（D）和受体（A）分子交替排列（混合堆积），最近作为这一方向的有前途的候选物出现，因为它们提供了固有、均匀的掺杂，有利于优异的导电性能。本综述强调了基于电荷转移（CT）的非共价相互作用的重要性，重点介绍了超分子设计原则，用于构建各种 CT 纳米结构。整篇文章分为三个部分，主题是用于获得 CT 组装的相互作用类型。通过我们最近的一些结果，我们试图强调这个新兴领域的潜在潜力。此外，我们还提出了我们对该领域主要挑战的看法，预计这将拓宽该主题的范围。
