Adaptive Building Blocks Consisting of Rigid Triangular Core and Flexible Alkoxy Chains for Self-Assembly at Liquid/Solid Interfaces

Supramolecular self-assembly in two-dimensional (2D) spaces on solid surfaces is the subject of intense current interest because of perspectives for various applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology. At the liquid/graphite interface, we found by means of scanning tunneling microscopy molecules with a rigid triangular core, a twelve-membered phenylene-ethynylene macrocycle called dehydrobenzo[12]annulene (DBA), substituted by six flexible alkoxy chains self-assembled to form hexagonal porous 2D molecular networks via van der Waals interactions between interdigitated alkyl chains as the directional intermolecular linkages. Factors that affect the formation of the porous 2D molecular networks including alkyl chain length, solvent, solute concentration, and temperature were elucidated through a systematic study. Because DBA molecules are versatile for chemical modification, they turned out to be highly adaptive for on-surface supramolecular chemistry with respect to (i) pore size control by changing the ...
