Vertically aligned nanowires
1,5-diaminoanthraquinone (DAAQ) molecules can self-assemble into vertically aligned organic nanowires via a facile physical vapor transport method
The color and fluorescence of the DAAQ nanowires can be bleached and quenched by acid vapor and rapidly regenerated by base vapor, making them useful as optical sensor materials.
