Abstract: The aim of this article is to explore the molecular design, synthesis and construction of molecular shuttles based on conjugated organic molecules with photo-electronic activity by self-assembly techniques. The new functions of molecular shuttles, such as switching surface properties, protecting dyes and insulating molecular wires, controlling the energy transfer, controlling nanostructural morphologies, molecular transporting and multilevel fluorescence switching, are also discussed.
