Abstract
The self-assemblies of polycyclic aromatic diimide (PAI) compounds on solid surfaces have attracted great interest because of the versatile and attractive properties for application in organic electronics. Here, a planar guest species (coronene) selectively adsorbs on the helicene-typed PAI1 monolayer strongly, depending on the conjugated cores of these PAIs. PAI1 molecule displays evidently a bowl structure lying on the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface due to the torsion of the "C"-shaped fused benzene rings. In combination with density functional theory calculation, the selective inclusion of coronene atop the backbone of the PAI1 array might be attributed to the bowl structure, which provides a groove for immobilizing coronene molecules. On the other planar densely packed arrays, it is difficult to observe the unstable adsorption of coronene. The selective addition of coronene molecules would be a strategic step toward the controllable multicomponent supramolecular architectures.

Abstract
In this research, with the assistance of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we observed the two-dimensional (2D) self-assembly transition of a star-shaped oligofluorene derivative (StOF) from disordered structure to honeycomb network by adjusting StOF concentration in solution. By introducing guest molecules coronene (COR), we for the first time achieved novel triangle-shaped COR trimers on liquid/highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) interface in both honeycomb network and the disordered structure. In thermal tests, the COR/StOF-disorder system underwent a structural conformation to form well-ordered ladder structures, while the COR/StOF-honeycomb system remained the perfect hexagonal network with COR trimers included in the cavities. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been employed to investigate the forming mechanism of the molecular nanoarrays. These studies are expected to enhance controlling on 2D self-assembly and provide a facial approach toward constructing on-surface molecular clusters.

Abstract
In the present investigation, we reported the fabrication of host networks formed by two newly prepared phenanthrene-butadiynylene macrocycles (PBMs) at the liquid-solid interface. Size, shape and concentration controlled experiments have been performed to investigate the PBMs/coronene (COR) host-guest system with the structural polymorphism phenomenon. Initially, PBM1 could form a regular linear network structure and PBM2 form a well-ordered nanoporous network structure. When the COR molecules were introduced, the self-assembled structure of PBM1 remained unchanged, while COR could be entrapped into the cavities of the PBM2 nanoporous network, and the co-assembly of the PBM2/COR host-guest systems underwent a structural transformation with the increase of concentration of COR. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are utilized to reveal the formation mechanism of the molecular nanoarrays controlled by the solution concentration.

Abstract
Multicomponent network formation by using a shape-persistent macrocycle (MC6) at the interface between an organic liquid and Au(111) surface is demonstrated. MC6 serves as a versatile building block that can be coadsorbed with a variety of organic molecules based on different types of noncovalent interactions at the liquid-solid interface. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveals the formation of crystalline bicomponent networks upon codeposition of MC6 with aromatic molecules, such as fullerene (C60) and coronene. Tetracyanoquinodimethane, on the other hand, was found to induce disorder into the MC6 networks by adsorbing on the rim of the macrocycle. Immobilization of MC6 itself was studied in two different noncovalently assembled host networks. MC6 assumed a rather passive role as a guest and simply occupied the host cavities in one network, whereas it induced a structural transition in the other. Finally, the central cavity of MC6 was used to capture C60 in a complex three-component system. Precise immobilization of organic molecules at discrete locations within multicomponent networks, as demonstrated here, constitutes an important step towards bottom-up fabrication of functional surface-based nanostructures.

Abstract
Two-component supramolecular networks have been constructed with a symmetric triphenylene derivative with three carboxyl groups (sym-TTT) and melamine. Two kinds of hydrogen bonds with different strength are involved in the multi-component self-assembly, one is H-bond between carboxyl group of sym-TTT and melamine, the other is intermolecular H-bond between melamine molecules. These interactions drive a structural transformation from close-packed network to hexagonal network with active amino groups inside of the cavity. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements reveal that the functionalized network of sym-TTT/melamine could recognise Fe(3+). These results could be helpful for designing functionalized molecular networks by multi-component self-assembling strategy.

Abstract
The tiling of surfaces has long attracted the attention of scientists, not only because it is intriguing intrinsically, but also as a way to control the properties of surfaces. However, although random tiling networks are studied increasingly, their degree of randomness (or partial order) has remained notoriously difficult to control, in common with other supramolecular systems. Here we show that the random organization of a two-dimensional supramolecular array of isophthalate tetracarboxylic acids varies with subtle chemical changes in the system. We quantify this variation using an order parameter and reveal a phase behaviour that is consistent with long-standing theoretical studies on random tiling. The balance between order and randomness is driven by small differences in intermolecular interaction energies, which can be related by numerical simulations to the experimentally measured order parameter. Significant variations occur with very small energy differences, which highlights the delicate balance between entropic and energetic effects in complex self-assembly processes.

Abstract
Self-assembly of planar molecules on a surface can result in the formation of a wide variety of close-packed or porous structures. Two-dimensional porous arrays provide host sites for trapping guest species of suitable size. Here we show that a non-planar guest species (C(60)) can play a more complex role by promoting the growth of a second layer of host molecules (p-terphenyl-3,5,3″,5″-tetracarboxylic acid) above and parallel to the surface so that self-assembly is extended into the third dimension. The addition of guest molecules and the formation of the second layer are co-dependent. Adding a planar guest (coronene) can displace the C(60) and cause reversion to a monolayer arrangement. The system provides an example of a reversible transformation between a planar and a non-planar supramolecular network, an important step towards the controlled self-assembly of functional, three-dimensional, surface-based supramolecular architectures.

Abstract
We studied the interaction of a highly ordered array of Co-tetraphenylporphyrin (CoTPP) with NO on Ag(111) by in situ scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Upon NO exposure, the initially quadratically ordered CoTPP layer reorganizes, showing a wealth of highly ordered NO+CoTPP coadsorbate phases with increasing size of the unit cell, interpreted as due to attractive lateral dipole-dipole interactions between the two species. The findings not only suggest a novel approach to control the arrangement of adsorbed porphyrins in particular but also should generally be considered in the production of functional layers from large organic molecules under ambient conditions or after exposure to small electronegative molecules.
