It is reported herein the synthesis of a novel amphiphilic diblock peptoid bearing a terminal conjugated oligoaniline and its self-assembly into small-diameter (D ≈ 35 nm) crystalline nanotubes with high aspect ratios (>30). It is shown that both tetraaniline (TANI)-peptoid and bianiline (BANI)-peptoid triblock molecules self-assemble in solution to form rugged highly crystalline nanotubes that are very stable to protonic acid doping and de-doping processes. The similarity of the crystalline tubular structure of the nanotube assemblies revealed by electron microscopy imaging, and X-ray diffraction analysis of the nanotube assemblies of TANI-functionalized peptoids and nonfunctionalized peptoids showed that the peptoid is an efficient ordered structure directing motif for conjugated oligomers. Films of doped TANI-peptoid nanotubes has a dc conductivity of ca. 95 mS cm−1, while the thin films of doped un-assembled TANI-peptoids show a factor of 5.6 lower conductivity, demonstrating impact of the favorable crystalline ordering of the assemblies on electrical transport. These results demonstrate that peptoid-directed supramolecular assembly of tethered π-conjugated oligo(aniline) exemplify a novel general strategy for creating rugged ordered and complex nanostructures that have useful electronic and optoelectronic properties.
