Supramolecular Patterned Surfaces Driven by Cooperative Assembly of C_(60) and Porphyrins on Metal Substrates

摘要

Systems that spontaneously self-organize through selective interactions into extended supramolecular entities offer a number of powerful approaches for the development of functional-molecule-based devices.Selective noncovalent interactions have been widely exploited both in solution and in the solid state to prepare extended assemblies in one (polymolecular chains and fibers),two (arrays,layers,and membranes),and three dimensions.Recently this concept has been extended to the surface engineering of multidimensional assemblies stabilized by hydrogen-bonding,dipole-dipole,donor-acceptor,and van der Waals interactions.
