applications, including catalysis and plasmonic enhancement,40
but it has been difficult to achieve with their organic
counterparts partly due to the challenge in generating a large
variety of supramolecular structures. We have established a
correlation between the crystallinity of the oligoaniline crystals
with their morphologies and dimensions in this report and are
currently examining other structure−property relationships.
