Solvent Mixture Induced Self Assembly of a Terthiophene Based Rod–Coil Block Co-oligomer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe the synthesis and self-assembly of a terthiophene-oligostyrene based block co-oligomer Ter-OSa. While the self-assembly of block copolymers is normally achieved using block-selective solvents, tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a good solvent for both terthiophene and oligostyrene blocks. The self-assembly in this case arises with the nonsolvent (H(2)O) in THF/H(2)O mixtures. The absorption spectra showed a blue shift and fluorescence spectra showed quenching of fluorescence with increasing water content indicating that the Ter-OSa self-assembled to form H-aggregates. The morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy. Depending upon the amount of water the Ter-OSa undergoes morphological transition from hollow to rigid spheres. However at higher water content the Ter-OSa formed large spheres from the fusion of smaller spheres. A mechanism of morphological transition from hollow spheres to rigid spheres is proposed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
