Two‐Dimensional Supramolecular Chemistry on Surfaces
Supramolecular chemistry represents one of the central themes of modern chemical sciences. The use of supramolecular interactions to create complex supermolecules and self-assembled arrays on surfaces represents a new avenue of research with promise for the development of molecular-level devices
Characterisation and Interpretation of On‐Surface Chemical Reactions Studied by Ultra‐High‐Resolution Scanning Probe Microscopy
The investigation of supramolecular self-assembly at surfaces requires detailed characterisation at the molecular or even sub-molecular level. The primary technique that has been employed to ensure a detailed understanding of self-assembled structures is based on high-resolution scanning probe microscopy (SPM). Such techniques, notably scanning-tunnelling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been widely used and such techniques allow the resolution of the geometric structure of organic molecules with intramolecular resolution. The development of noncontact atomic force microscopy (ncAFM) over recent years has allowed sub-molecular imaging of the chemical, electronic, and electrostatic properties of single molecules. This chapter focuses on the use of this technique to track complex on-surface chemical reactions, investigate novel reaction products, and even synthesise new molecular structures one bond at a time
Surface Self‐Assembly of Hydrogen‐Bonded Frameworks
The use of intermolecular hydrogen bonds to create two-dimensional arrays on surfaces is discussed. In particular, the supramolecular synthon strategy, is described which in principle allows the rational design and synthesis of hydrogen-bonded arrays and frameworks. The success or otherwise of using this approach is discussed, and remarkable examples of porous frameworks capable of trapping guest molecules, as well as complex and intricate design strategies that lead to tiling assemblies, are explored. Ultimately, the successful implementation of the supramolecular synthon strategy using hydrogen bonds is demonstrated, coupled with an appreciation of the complexity of energetic preferences during the self-assembly process
