As the use of low‐molecular‐weight gelators (LMWGs) as components in single and multicomponent systems for optoelectronic and solar cell applications increases, so does the need for more functional gelators. There are relatively few examples of p‐type gelators that can be used in such systems. Here, the synthesis and characterization of three amino‐acid‐functionalized p‐type gelators based on terthiophene, tetrathiafulvalene, and oligo(phenylenevinylene) are described. The cores of these molecules are already used as electron donors in optoelectronic applications. These newly designed molecules can gel water to form highly organized structures, which can be dried into thin films that show p‐type behavior.

P型低分子量水凝剂

随着将低分子量胶凝剂（LMWG）用作光电和太阳能电池应用的单组分和多组分系统中的组分，对功能更强的胶凝剂的需求也在增加。在此类系统中可以使用的p型胶凝剂的例子相对较少。在这里，描述了基于对噻吩，四硫富瓦烯和低聚（亚苯基亚乙烯基）的三种氨基酸官能化的p型胶凝剂的合成和表征。这些分子的核心已被用作光电应用中的电子供体。这些新设计的分子可以使水胶凝以形成高度组织的结构，然后可以干燥成显示p型行为的薄膜。
