The synthesis of 11-Methyl-benzo[d]pyreno[4,5-b]furan (BPF) was made possible by the self assembly nanowires via π-π interactions as found in some conjugated organic polymer. The reprecipitaion of BPF yielded nanowires of 150nm to 300nm in diameter and approximately 20μm in length. Characterization...
