Abstract
The synthesis and structural characterization of four novel supramolecular hydrogen-bonded arrangements based on self-assembly from molecular `[Cu(2,2'-biimidazole)]' modules and malonate anions are presented, namely, tetrakis(2,2'-biimidazole)di-μ-chlorido-dimalonatotricopper(II) pentahydrate, [Cu3(C3H2O4)2Cl2(C6H6N4)4]·5H2O or [Cu(H2biim)2(μ-Cl)Cu0.5(mal)]2·5H2O, aqua(2,2'-biimidazole)malonatocopper(II) dihydrate, [Cu(C3H2O4)(C6H6N4)(H2O)]·2H2O or [Cu(H2biim)(mal)(H2O)]·2H2O, bis[aquabis(2,2'-biimidazole)copper(II)] dimalonatodiperchloratocopper(II) 2.2-hydrate, [Cu(C6H6N4)2(H2O)]2[Cu(C3H2O4)(ClO4)2]·2.2H2O or [Cu(H2biim)2(H2O)]2[Cu(mal)2(ClO4)2]·2.2H2O, and bis(2,2'-biimidazole)copper(II) bis[bis(2,2'-biimidazole)(2-carboxyacetato)malonatocopper(II)] tridecahydrate, [Cu(C6H6N4)2][Cu(C3H2O4)(C3H3O4)(C6H6N4)2]·13H2O or [Cu(H2biim)2][Cu(H2biim)2(Hmal)(mal)]2·13H2O. These assemblies are characterized by self-complementary donor-acceptor molecular interactions, demonstrating a recurrent and distinctive pattern of hydrogen-bonding preferences among the carboxylate, carboxylic acid and N-H groups of the coordinated 2,2'-biimidazole and malonate ligands. Additionally, coordination of the carboxylate group with the metallic centre helps sustain remarkable supramolecular assemblies, such as layers, helices, double helix columns or 3D channeled architectures, including mixed-metal complexes, into a single structure.

Abstract
Nonpolar solvents commonly used in scanning tunneling microscope-based break junction measurements exhibit hazards and relatively low boiling points (bp) that limit the scope of solution experiments at elevated temperatures. Here we show that low toxicity, ultrahigh bp solvents such as bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (bp = 417 °C) and squalane (457 °C) can be used to probe molecular junctions at ≥100 °C. With these, we extend solvent- and temperature-dependent conductance trends for junction components such as 4,4'-bipyridine and thiomethyl-terminated oligophenylenes and reveal the gold snapback distance is larger at 100 °C due to increased surface atom mobility. We further show the rate of surface transmetalation and homocoupling reactions using phenylboronic acids increases at 100 °C, while junctions comprising anticipated boroxine condensation products form only at room temperature in an anhydrous glovebox atmosphere. Overall, this work demonstrates the utility of low vapor pressure solvents for the comprehensive characterization of junction properties and chemical reactivity at the single-molecule limit.

Abstract
The flexibility of ligands allows for their bending, twisting, or rotation to adopt various conformations, leading to distinct symmetries during the self-assembled process. Flexible aromatic acid ligands modified by ether bonds are a promising type of self-assembled module when it comes to surfaces. Here, two pentacarboxylic acid ligands (H5L1 and H5L2) with minor skeleton differences have successfully self-assembled into disparate porous networks on the graphite surface and demonstrated excellent potential for the inclusion of guest molecules. The H5L1 molecule's network structure only accommodates coronene (COR) molecules. With fewer COR molecules, H5L1 molecules act as a host template to accommodate the COR molecules. When there are too many COR molecules, COR molecules will induce H5L1 molecules to transform into a new host-guest nanostructure. Additionally, H5L2 molecules showed the ability to capture C70 molecules and exhibited cavity selectivity. However, the assembled network of H5L2 was slightly deformed in attempts to trap the COR molecules. To understand these phenomena more deeply, various assembled mechanisms were analyzed in combination with building theoretical models and energy analysis. These results reveal the great potential of flexible aromatic acid ligands in two-dimensional self-assembly and host-guest systems for their application in related fields.

Abstract
Macrocyclic arenes have gained considerable attention for their structural diversity and widespread applications. In this research, a new kind of macrocyclic arenes, namely prism[2]dihydrophenazines (anti-P2P20, syn-P2P20, and P2P22), composed of two dihydrophenazine derivatives subunits bridged by methylene groups, were conveniently synthesized by AlCl3-catalyzed one-pot condensation in 1,2-dichloroethane. Both anti-P2P20 and its isomer syn-P2P20 exhibited flexible and convertible conformation with narrow cavity, while P2P22 possessed rigid and rhombic-like skeleton due to the more steric hindrance on subunits. In addition, the selection of electron-deficient guest was found to influence the outside binding behavior of syn-P2P20. Fantastic regular supramolecular tessellation was fabricated by tiling of syn-P2P20 with tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone (TFB) through the exo-wall interactions. Using 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DFN) as a linker, only the regular 2D network superstructure with periodic units in a plane was obtained through cocrystallization. This work not only reports the construction of supramolecular tessellations by using prism[2]dihydrophenazines as building blocks, but also provides a new perspective for the design of macrocyclic arenes and fabrication of 2D supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Nanoarchitectonics has attracted increasing attention owing to its potential applications in nanomachines, nanoelectronics, catalysis, and nanopatterning, which can contribute to overcoming global problems related to energy and environment, among others. However, the fabrication of ordered nanoarchitectures remains a challenge, even in two dimensions. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the self-assembly processes and substantial factors for building ordered structures is critical for tailoring flexible and desirable nanoarchitectures. Scanning tunneling microscopy is a powerful tool for revealing the molecular conformations, arrangements, and orientations of two-dimensional (2D) networks on surfaces. The fabrication of 2D assemblies involves non-covalent interactions that play a significant role in the molecular arrangement and orientation. Among the non-covalent interactions, dispersion interactions that derive from alkyl chain units are believed to be weak. However, alkyl chains play an important role in the adsorption onto substrates, as well as in the in-plane intermolecular interactions. In this review, we focus on the role of alkyl chains in the formation of ordered 2D assemblies at the solid/liquid interface. The alkyl chain effects on the 2D assemblies are introduced together with examples documented in the past decades.

Abstract
The supramolecular self-assembly behavior of a pair of low-symmetry tetracarboxylic acid molecules (H4OBDB and H4ADDI) and their co-assembly behavior with TMA as a bridging molecule were studied at the liquid-solid interface. Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) observations revealed that H4OBDB and H4ADDI molecules both tend to form O-shaped dimers but end up forming different types of self-assembly structures. We also investigated the construction of two-component co-assembly structures by mixing H4OBDB or H4ADDI molecules with bridging molecules such as TMA. The two formed co-assembly structures are similar. Based on the analysis of the STM results and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the formation mechanism of the assembled structures was revealed.

Abstract
Two-dimensional and pseudo-2D systems come in various forms. Membranes separating protocells from the environment were necessary for life to occur. Later, compartmentalization allowed for the development of more complex cellular structures. Nowadays, 2D materials (e.g., graphene, molybdenum disulfide) are revolutionizing the smart materials industry. Surface engineering allows for novel functionalities, as only a limited number of bulk materials have the desired surface properties. This is realized via physical treatment (e.g., plasma treatment, rubbing), chemical modifications, thin film deposition (using both chemical and physical methods), doping and formulation of composites, or coating. However, artificial systems are usually static. Nature creates dynamic and responsive structures, which facilitates the formation of complex systems. The challenge of nanotechnology, physical chemistry, and materials science is to develop artificial adaptive systems. Dynamic 2D and pseudo-2D designs are needed for future developments of life-like materials and networked chemical systems in which the sequences of the stimuli would control the consecutive stages of the given process. This is crucial to achieving versatility, improved performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Here, we review the advancements in studies on adaptive, responsive, dynamic, and out-of-equilibrium 2D and pseudo-2D systems composed of molecules, polymers, and nano/microparticles.

Abstract
A series of zigzag-edged polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (Z1-Z3) were synthesized from 2,12-dibromo-7,14-diphenyl-benzo[m]tetraphene (9) as a versatile building block. Their structures were unambiguously confirmed by laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, 1 H NMR, Raman, and Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies as well as scanning tunneling microscopy. The fingerprint vibrational modes were elucidated with theoretical support. The edge- and size-dependent optical properties were characterized by UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and DFT calculations. Moreover, ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy revealed distinct modulation of the photophysical properties upon π-extension from Z1 to Z2, the latter having a gulf edge.

Abstract
Due to the interest in the origin of life and the need to synthesize new functional materials, the study of the origin of chirality has been given significant attention. The mechanism of chirality transfer at molecular and supramolecular levels remains underexplored. Herein, we study the mechanism of chirality transfer of N, N'-bis (octadecyl)-L-/D-(anthracene-9-carboxamide)-glutamic diamide (L-/D-GAn) supramolecular chiral self-assembled at the air/water interface by chiral sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (chiral SFG) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We observe long-range chirality transfer in the systems. The chirality of Cα-H is transferred first to amide groups and then transferred to the anthracene unit, through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking to produce an antiparallel β-sheet-like structure, and finally it is transferred to the end of hydrophobic alkyl chains at the interface. These results are relevant for understanding the chirality origin in supramolecular systems and the rational design of supramolecular chiral materials.

Abstract
In this paper, two new flavonol derivatives, 2-(4-(dodecyloxy)phenyl)-3-hydroxyflavone (DHF) and 2-(3,5-bis(dodecyloxy)phenyl)-3-hydroxyflavone (BDHF), were synthesized to investigate the respective self-assembly behaviors at the liquid/solid interface by scanning tunneling microscopy. In addition, a linear pyridine derivative with acetylene groups called BisPy was added to regulate the assembly of DHF and BDHF, individually. However, only BDHF molecules successfully co-assembled into grid structures with BisPy molecules. Furthermore, the assembly and co-assembly behavior mechanism of flavonol derivatives and BisPy molecules were further studied by density functional theory calculations. This work will lay a foundation for investigating the self-assembly of flavonol derivatives and the co-assembly regulated by pyridine derivatives at the liquid-solid interface.

Abstract
Macrocyclic oligothiophenes and their π-expanded derivatives constitute versatile building blocks for the design of (supra)molecularly engineered active interfaces, owing to their structural, chemical, and optoelectronic properties. Here, it is demonstrated how resonant tunneling effect induces single molecular isomerization in a 2D crystal, self-assembled at solid-liquid interfaces under ambient conditions. Monolayers of a series of four π-expanded oligothiophene macrocycles are investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) at the interface between their octanoic acid solutions and the basal plane of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Current-voltage characteristics confirm the donor-type character of the macrocycles, with the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) positions consistent with time-dependent density functional theory calculations. Cyclic STS measurements show the redox isomerization from Z,Z-8T6A to its isomer E,E-8T6A occurring in the 2D crystal, due to the formation of a negatively charged species when the tunneling current is in resonance with the LUMO of the macrocycle.

Abstract
Based on previous research, a new coassembly formed by a porphyrin derivative (IPETPP), which contains a flexible substituent of m-phthalic acid, is observed with coronene (COR) molecules at a higher concentration. Besides, a fresh IPETPP self-assembly formed at a lower concentration and another new coassembly with COR molecules are obtained. Moreover, the addition of a series of bipyridines alters the diamond arrangement of IPETPP, which enhances the stability of the two-component structures. It is unprecedented that bipyridine derivatives break intermolecular hydrogen bonds containing m-phthalic acid substituents. All the coassemblies are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Combined with density functional theory, the formation mechanism of the assembled structures is revealed. These results would contribute to understanding the interfacial crystal behaviors and probably provide an efficient pathway to regulate the binary structures.

Abstract
Hierarchical organization of self-assembled structures into superstructures is omnipresent in Nature but has been rarely achieved in synthetic molecular assembly due to the absence of clear structural rules. We herein report on the self-assembly of scissor-shaped azobenzene dyads which form discrete nanotoroids that further organize into 2D porous networks. The steric demand of the peripheral aliphatic units diminishes the trend of the azobenzene dyad to constitute stackable nanotoroids in solution, thus affording isolated (unstackable) nanotoroids upon cooling. Upon drying, these nanotoroids organize at graphite surface to form well-defined 2D porous networks. The photoirradiation with UV and visible light enabled reversible dissociation and reconstruction of nanotoroids through the efficient trans↔cis isomerization of azobenzene moieties in solution.

Abstract
The need for a precise regulation of the properties of chiral nematic structures in response to external stimuli is addressed. Self-assembled iridescent coatings are produced under the effect of electrostatic interactions between cellulose nanocrystals and poly(acrylic acid), endowing a high anisotropic dissymmetry (>0.3) and sensitivity to environmental humidity (13.1 nm/1% at 68-75% relative humidity, RH). The phenomena associated with shifts in selective light reflection (green to orange) and polarization, facilitate tunable transmitted colors (blue to orange) at given rotation angles (RA). Such properties are conveniently integrated into a "RH-RA-color" ternary code that is introduced as an anticounterfeiting technology, taking advantage of multicolor patterns that conveniently track with changes in RH and RA. The proposed charge-driven assembly opens new opportunities for chiral nematic materials that enable precise optical sensing and information encryption.

Abstract
Supramolecular tessellation has gained increasing interest in supramolecular chemistry for its structural aesthetics and potential applications in optics, magnetics and catalysis. In this work, a new kind of supramolecular tessellations (STs) have been fabricated by the exo-wall interactions of pagoda[4]arene (P4). ST with rhombic tiling pattern was first constructed by P4 itself through favorable π···π interactions between anthracene units of adjacent P4. Notably, various highly ordered STs with different tiling patterns have been fabricated based on exo-wall charge transfer interactions between electron-rich P4 and electron-deficient guests including 1,4-dinitrobenzene, terephthalonitrile and tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile. Interestingly, solvent modulation and guest selection played a crucial role in controlling the molecular arrangements in the co-crystal superstructures. This work not only proves that P4 is an excellent macrocyclic building block for the fabrication of various STs, but also provides a new perspective and opportunity for the design and construction of supramolecular two-dimensional organic materials. Supramolecular tessellation has gained increasing interest in supramolecular chemistry for its structural aesthetics and potential applications in optics, magnetics and catalysis. Here, the authors expand the examples of molecular building blocks for supramolecular tessellation and fabricate supramolecular tessellations using the exo-wall interactions of pagoda[4]arene.

Abstract
We present two different molecular organizations obtained from octadecylamine (ODA) molecules on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface: (i) self-organized physisorbed ODA molecules lying flat on the surface and (ii) a strongly electrografted compact crystalline monolayer of ODA molecules standing up on the surface. This new structure is obtained by combining the Langmuir-Blodgett transfer of an ODA Langmuir film onto HOPG with oxidative electrografting. The presence of an organic film on HOPG is characterized by attenuated total reflectance-infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, while atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy allow the observation of the two molecular organizations with adsorbed molecules lying flat on HOPG or strongly grafted in an upright position on the HOPG surface. Interestingly, the second molecular organization preserves a hexagonal symmetry and its lattice parameters are intermediate between those of ODA Langmuir films and that of the HOPG underlying surface. The functionalization of surfaces with organic films is a major issue in the design of sensors with biomedical applications or organic electronics and energy storage devices and these structures may find applications in these fields.

Abstract
Self-assembled molecular networks (SAMNs) on surfaces evoke a lot of interest, both from a fundamental as well as application point of view. When formed at the liquid–solid interface, precise control over different polymorphs can be achieved by simply adjusting the concentration of molecular building blocks in solution. Significant influence of solute concentration on self-assembly behavior has been observed, whether the self-assembly behavior is controlled by either van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonding interactions. In both cases, high- and low-density supramolecular networks have been observed at high and low solute concentrations, respectively. In contrast to this “concentration-in-control” self-assembly concept here we report an atypical concentration dependent self-assembly behavior at a solution–solid interface. At the interface between heptanoic acid (HA) and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), we show, using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), the formation of a low-density porous network at high solute concentrations, and a high-density compact network at low solute concentrations. This intriguing inverse concentration dependent self-assembly behavior has been attributed to the preaggregation of solute molecules in the heptanoic acid solution as revealed by UV-vis spectroscopy. The observed results have been correlated to the molecular density of self-assembled monolayers attained at the HA/HOPG interface. Surprise! against expectations, increasing (decreasing) the solute concentration leads to the formation of a low-density (high-density) self-assembled molecular network at the liquid–solid interface.![]()

Abstract
Nowadays, reversible friction regulation has become the focus of scientists in terms of the flexible regulatory structure of photosensitive materials and theories since this facilitates rapid development in this field. Meanwhile, as an external stimulus, light possesses great potential and advantages in spatiotemporal control and remote triggering. In this work, we demonstrated two photo-isomerized organic molecular layers, tetra-carboxylic azobenzene (NN4A) and dicarboxylic azobenzene (NN2A), which were selected to construct template networks on the surface of the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) to study the friction properties, corresponding to the arrangement structure of self-assembled layers under light regulation. First of all, the morphology of the self-assembled layers were characterized by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), then the nanotribological properties of the template networks were measured by atomic force microscope (AFM). Their friction coefficients are respectively changed by about 0.6 and 2.3 times under light control. The density functional theory (DFT) method was used to calculate the relationship between the force intensity and the friction characteristics of the self-assembled systems under light regulation. Herein, the use of external light stimulus plays a significant role in regulating the friction properties of the interface of the nanometer, hopefully serving as a fundamental basis for further light-controlling research for the future fabrication of advanced on-surface devices.

Abstract
Abstract
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has gained increasing attention in the field of electrocatalysis due to its ability to reveal electrocatalyst surface structures down to the atomic level in either ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) or harsh electrochemical conditions. The detailed knowledge of surface structures, surface electronic structures, surface active sites as well as the interaction between surface adsorbates and electrocatalysts is highly beneficial in the study of electrocatalytic mechanisms and for the rational design of electrocatalysts. Based on this, this review will discuss the application of STM in the characterization of electrocatalyst surfaces and the investigation of electrochemical interfaces between electrocatalyst surfaces and reactants. Based on different operating conditions, UHV-STM and STM in electrochemical environments (EC-STM) are discussed separately. This review will also present emerging techniques including high-speed EC-STM, scanning noise microscopy and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
Tetrabromo aromatics can be synthesized by the Fischer-Zimmermann condensation of appropriate pyrylium salts with arylene dicarboxylic acid salts. Their cyclization by intramolecular Yamamoto coupling yields strained bicyclophanes with adjustable sizes and different intraannular bridges. All compounds adsorb at the solid/liquid interface on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with submolecular resolution. The observed two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular nanopatterns depend only on the sizes and alkoxy periphery of the cyclophanes and are independent of the specific structures of the intraannular bridges. Since the central arylene moieties of the smaller species are oriented perpendicular to the planes of the bicyclophanes, their substituents protrude from the surface by up to 1.6 nm after adsorption. Therefore, these molecules are attractive platforms for addressing the volume phase above the graphite surface.

Combinatorial Selection Among Geometrical Isomers of Discrete Long-Carbon-Chain Naphthalenediimides Induces Local Order at the Liquid/Solid Interface. ACS NANO 2020; 14:13865-13875. [PMID: 32914965 PMCID: PMC7596778 DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.0c06274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/11/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
We report two families of naphthalenediimides (NDIs) symmetrically functionalized with discrete carbon chains comprising up to 55 carbon atoms (Cn-NDI-Cn, n = 39, 44, 50, and 55) and their self-assembly at the 1-phenyloctane/highly oriented pyrolytic graphite interface (1-PO/HOPG interface). The compounds differ by the presence or absence of two or three internal double bonds in the carbon chains (unsaturated and saturated Cn-NDI-Cn, respectively). Combinatorial distributions of geometrical isomers displaying either the E- or Z-configuration at each double bond are obtained for the unsaturated compounds. Analysis of the self-assembled monolayers of equally long unsaturated and saturated Cn-NDI-Cn by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) reveal that all Cn-NDI-Cn tend to form lamellar systems featuring alternating areas of aromatic cores and carbon chains. Extended chain lengths are found to significantly increase disorder in the self-assembled monolayers due to misalignments and enhanced strength of interchain interactions. This phenomenon is antagonized by the local order-inducing effect of the internal double bonds: unsaturated Cn-NDI-Cn give qualitatively more ordered self-assembled monolayers compared to their saturated counterparts. The use of combinatorial distributions of unsaturated Cn-NDI-Cn geometrical isomers does not represent a limitation to achieve local order in the self-assembled monolayers. The self-assembly process operates a combinatorial search and selects the geometrical isomer(s) affording the most thermodynamically stable pattern, highlighting the adaptive character of the system. Finally, the antagonistic interplay between the extended carbon chain lengths and the presence of internal double bonds brings to the discovery of the lamellar "phase C" morphology for unsaturated Cn-NDI-Cn with n ≥ 50.

Abstract
Fabrication of a two-dimensional covalent network of honeycomb nanosheets comprising small 1,3,5-triamino benzene and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxaldehyde aromatic building blocks was conducted on Au(111) in a pH-controlled aqueous solution. In situ scanning tunneling microscopy revealed a large defect-free and homogeneous honeycomb π-conjugated nanosheet at the Au(111)/liquid interface. An electrochemical potential dependence indicated that the nanosheets were the result of thermodynamic self-assembly based not only on the reaction equilibrium but also on the adsorption (partition) equilibrium, which was controlled by the building block surface coverage as a function of electrode potential.

Abstract
![]()
Achieving
long-range order with surface-supported supramolecular
assemblies is one of the pressing challenges in the prospering field
of non-covalent surface functionalization. Having access to defect-free
on-surface molecular assemblies will pave the way for various nanotechnology
applications. Here we report the synthesis of two libraries of naphthalenediimides
(NDIs) symmetrically functionalized with long aliphatic chains (C28 and C33) and their self-assembly at the 1-phenyloctane/highly
oriented pyrolytic graphite (1-PO/HOPG) interface. The two NDI libraries
differ by the presence/absence of an internal double bond in each
aliphatic chain (unsaturated and saturated compounds, respectively).
All molecules assemble into lamellar arrangements, with the NDI cores
lying flat and forming 1D rows on the surface, while the carbon chains
separate the 1D rows from each other. Importantly, the presence of
the unsaturation plays a dominant role in the arrangement of the aliphatic
chains, as it exclusively favors interdigitation. The fully saturated
tails, instead, self-assemble into a combination of either interdigitated
or non-interdigitated diagonal arrangements. This difference in packing
is spectacularly amplified at the whole surface level and results
in almost defect-free self-assembled monolayers for the unsaturated
compounds. In contrast, the monolayers of the saturated counterparts
are globally disordered, even though they locally preserve the lamellar arrangements. The experimental
observations are supported by computational studies and are rationalized
in terms of stronger van der Waals interactions in the case of the
unsaturated compounds. Our investigation reveals the paramount role
played by internal double bonds on the self-assembly of discrete large
molecules at the liquid/solid interface.

Abstract
Crystallinity of the polymer poly(3,6-difuran-2-yl-2,5-di(2-octyldodecyl)-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione-altthieylenevinylene) (PDVF) adlayers casted from low-boiling-point (L-bp), medium-bp (M-bp), and high-bp (H-bp) solvents was investigated through scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and analyzed by the assistance of Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Crystallinity of the PDVF adlayers increases evidently from the L- to H-bp solvents. Also, the solvent with an alkyl chain such as ethylbenzene (EB) facilitates in improving the crystallinity than the one without an alkyl chain such as chlorobenzene (CB) if the solvent bp is present in the same group. The HSP space discloses that EB is a marginal solvent for PDVF in contrast to CB. Quasi-isolate PDVF in the EB solution revealed by MD simulations facilitates the formation of crystallized domains through surface assembling mechanism. However, in CB, interconnected PDVF molecules through intermolecular overlapping tend to generate amorphous structures through direct deposition of the preformed structures in solution.

Abstract
Anfinsen's dogma that sequence dictates structure is fundamental to understanding the activity and assembly of proteins. This idea has been applied to all manner of oligomers but not to the behavior of cyclic oligomers, aka macrocycles. We do this here by providing the first proofs that sequence controls the hierarchical assembly of nonbiological macrocycles, in this case, at graphite surfaces. To design macrocycles with one (AAA), two (AAB), or three (ABC) different carbazole units, we needed to subvert the synthetic preferences for one-pot macrocyclizations. We developed a new stepwise synthesis with sequence-defined targets made in 11, 17, and 22 steps with 25, 10, and 5% yields, respectively. The linear build up of primary sequence (1°) also enabled a thermal Huisgen cycloaddition to proceed regioselectively for the first time using geometric control. The resulting macrocycles are planar (2° structure) and form H-bonded dimers (3°) at surfaces. Primary sequences encoded into the suite of tricarb macrocycles were shown by scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) to impact the next levels of supramolecular ordering (4°) and 2D crystalline polymorphs (5°) at solution-graphite interfaces. STM imaging of an AAB macrocycle revealed the formation of a new gap phase that was inaccessible using only C3-symmetric macrocycles. STM imaging of two additional sequence-controlled macrocycles (AAD, ABE) allowed us to identify the factors driving the formation of this new polymorph. This demonstration of how sequence controls the hierarchical patterning of macrocycles raises the importance of stepwise syntheses relative to one-pot macrocyclizations to offer new approaches for greater understanding and control of hierarchical assembly.

Abstract
Self-assembly structures of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-substituted phenyl)porphyrins at the liquid-graphite interface were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. We found that the presence of a small amount of a polar solvent, i.e., only 0.5 vol% of octanoic acid in phenyloctane, significantly affected the selective formation of the face-on polymorph over the edge-on one likely due to the solvent-molecule interactions at the 2D interface.

Abstract
Adequate control over the structures of molecular building blocks plays an important role in the fabrication of desired supramolecular nanostructures at interfaces. In this study, the formation of a pure hydrogen-bonding co-assembly supramolecular nanonetwork on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface was demonstrated by means of a scanning tunneling microscope. The thermal annealing process was conducted to monitor the temperature-triggered structural transformation of the self-assembled nanonetwork. On the basis of the single-molecule-level resolution scanning tunneling microscopy images, together with the density functional theory calculations, the formation mechanisms of the formed nanoarrays were proposed. The results have great significance with regard to controlled construction of complex nanostructures on the surface.

We report on the two-dimensional self-assembly of C2v-symmetric [1,1′:3′,1′′-terphenyl]-3,3′′,5,5′′-tetracarboxylic acid (TPTA) at the solid/liquid interface by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Two kinds of different self-assembly structure, i.e. a close-packed and porous rosette structure, are formed by TPTA molecules through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. When adding coronene (COR) as a guest into the TPTA assembly, structural transformation from a densely packed row structure to a rosette network structure is observed. It was found that two kinds of cavities with different sizes in the rosette network structure can be used to realize the selective co-adsorption of guest molecules with appropriate shape and size. Three-component 2D host–guest structures were successfully constructed by using 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis(4-bromophenyl)benzene (HBPBE) and copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) as guest molecules. The formation process of multicomponent 2D assemblies of C2v-symmetric terphenyl tetracarboxylic acid on a surface.![]()

Abstract
Coordination-driven self-assembly as a bottom-up approach has witnessed a rapid growth in building giant structures in the past few decades. Challenges still remain, however, within the construction of giant architectures in terms of high efficiency and complexity from simple building blocks. Inspired by the features of DNA and protein, which both have specific sequences, we herein design a series of linear building blocks with specific sequences through the coordination between terpyridine ligands and Ru(II). Different generations of polycyclic supramolecules (C1 to C5) with increasing complexity are obtained through the self-assembly with Cd(II), Fe(II) or Zn(II). The assembled structures are characterized via multi-dimensional mass spectrometry analysis as well as multi-dimensional and multinuclear NMR (1H, COSY, NOESY) analysis. Moreover, the largest two cycles C4 and C5 hierarchically assemble into ordered nanoscale structures on a graphite based on their precisely-controlled shapes and sizes with high shape-persistence.

Abstract
Understanding how molecules interact to form large-scale hierarchical structures on surfaces holds promise for building designer nanoscale constructs with defined chemical and physical properties. Here, we describe early advances in this field and highlight upcoming opportunities and challenges. Both direct intermolecular interactions and those that are mediated by coordinated metal centers or substrates are discussed. These interactions can be additive, but they can also interfere with each other, leading to new assemblies in which electrical potentials vary at distances much larger than those of typical chemical interactions. Earlier spectroscopic and surface measurements have provided partial information on such interfacial effects. In the interim, scanning probe microscopies have assumed defining roles in the field of molecular organization on surfaces, delivering deeper understanding of interactions, structures, and local potentials. Self-assembly is a key strategy to form extended structures on surfaces, advancing nanolithography into the chemical dimension and providing simultaneous control at multiple scales. In parallel, the emergence of graphene and the resulting impetus to explore 2D materials have broadened the field, as surface-confined reactions of molecular building blocks provide access to such materials as 2D polymers and graphene nanoribbons. In this Review, we describe recent advances and point out promising directions that will lead to even greater and more robust capabilities to exploit designer surfaces.

Abstract
Demonstrated herein is an unprecedented porous template-assisted reaction at the solid-liquid interface involving bond formation, which is typically collision-driven and occurs in the solution and gas phases. The template is a TMA (trimesic acid) monolayer with two-dimensional pores that host fullerenes, which otherwise exhibit an insignificant affinity to an undecorated graphite substrate. The confinement of C84 units in the TMA pores formulates a proximity that is ideal for bond formation. The oligomerization of C84 is triggered by an electric pulse via a scanning tunneling microscope tip. The spacing between C84 moieties becomes 1.4 nm, which is larger than the edge-to-edge diameter of 1.1-1.2 nm of C84 due to the formation of intermolecular single bonds. In addition, the characteristic mass-to-charge ratios of dimers and trimers are observed by mass spectrometry. The experimental findings shed light on the active role of spatially tailored templates in facilitating the chemical activity of guest molecules.

Abstract
A network of self-assembled polystyrene beads was employed as a lithographic mask during covalent functionalization reactions on graphitic surfaces to create nanocorrals for confined molecular self-assembly studies. The beads were initially assembled into hexagonal arrays at the air-liquid interface and then transferred to the substrate surface. Subsequent electrochemical grafting reactions involving aryl diazonium molecules created covalently bound molecular units that were localized in the void space between the nanospheres. Removal of the bead template exposed hexagonally arranged circular nanocorrals separated by regions of chemisorbed molecules. Small molecule self-assembly was then investigated inside the resultant nanocorrals using scanning tunneling microscopy to highlight localized confinement effects. Overall, this work illustrates the utility of self-assembly principles to transcend length scale gaps in the development of hierarchically patterned molecular materials.

Abstract
We report the potential and concentration controlled assembly of an alkyl-substituted benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene (DDBDT) on an Au(111) electrode by in situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (ECSTM). It is found that a lamellar structure is formed at low concentrations, while herringbone-like and rhombus structures are obtained at high concentrations. In situ STM results reveal that herringbone-like and rhombus structures could transform into lamellar structures when the electrode potential is tuned negatively. A phase diagram is obtained to illustrate the relationship and effects of concentration and substrate potential on the interfacial structures of DDBDT. Both the substrate potential and the solute concentration can modulate the self-assembly structure through changing the molecular surface density. The results provide important insights into the understanding and precise control of molecular self-assembly on solid surfaces through a combination of different approaches.

Abstract
The control of assembly structures that subsequently help achieve viable functionalities has been one of the key motivations for the exploration of surface molecular assembly. In terms of its functionality and applicability, the assembly is explored as a strategy to steer on-surface reactions primarily by two methods: assembly-assisted and assembly-involved reactions. The functions of the self-assembly strategy are threefold: tweaking reaction selectivities, steering reaction pathways, and directing reaction sites. The governing principle herein is that the assembly strategy can apply a surface confinement effect that affects the energy barrier and pre-exponential factor of the Arrhenius equation for the dynamics of the target reaction. Development of such a strategy may reveal new routes to steer on-surface reactions and even single molecule properties in surface chemistry.

A bilayer covalent organic framework (COF) of TTF-based building blocks was obtained by imine reaction between tetrathiafulvalene tetraaldehyde (4ATTF) and p-phenylenediamine (PPDA). Direct evidence for the eclipsed stacking of bilayer structure via π-π interaction between TTF units is provided by high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy.

Abstract
Advances in organic chemistry allow the synthesis of large, complex and highly functionalized organic molecules having potential applications in optoelectronics, molecular electronics and organic solar cells. Their integration into devices as individual components or highly ordered thin-films is of paramount importance to address these future prospects. However, conventional sublimation techniques in vacuum are usually not applicable since large organic compounds are often non-volatile and decompose upon heating. Here, we prove by atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, the structural integrity of complex organic molecules deposited onto an Au(111) surface using electrospray ionisation deposition. High resolution AFM measurements with CO-terminated tips unambiguously reveal their successful transfer from solution to the gold surface in ultra-high vacuum without degradation of their chemical structures. Furthermore, the formation of molecular structures from small islands to large and highly-ordered self-assemblies of those fragile molecules is demonstrated, confirming the use of electrospray ionisation to promote also on-surface polymerization reactions of highly functionalized organic compounds, biological molecules or molecular magnets.
