Hybrid molecular nanostructures with donor-acceptor chains

Conformation Diversity of a Fused‐Ring Pyrazine Derivative on Au(111) and Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite

“…In recent years, substantial progress has been made to develop organic‐semiconductor‐based electronics and optoelectronics, with far‐reaching applications such as organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), solar cells, light‐emitting diodes, and sensors . Recent results have demonstrated that the orientation and packing of molecules in the devices has a large bearing on the device performance . Sirringhaus et al.…”

“…Nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic aromatic compounds have attracted much attention because they exhibit high performance in n‐type OFETs . In this contribution, the packing structures of an N‐heteroaromatic compound, namely, 3,6‐didodecyl‐12‐(3,6‐didodecylphenanthro[9,10‐ b ]phenazin‐13‐yl)phenanthro[9,10‐ b ] phenazine (DP), are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on Au(111) and HOPG substrates.…”

Adlayer structures of thiophene and pyrrole derivatives on Au(1 1 1) probed by scanning tunneling microscopy

“…The chemical bonding between the thiophene sulfur and gold has been demonstrated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR) [12]. Besides thiophene, a variety of thiophene derivatives, including oligothiophene [13][14][15], polythiophene [16,17], fused thiophene [18,19] and cyclothiophene [20,21], have also been investigated. Sakaguchi et al fabricated highly ordered conjugated polymer and copolymer wires by electrochemical polymerization of thiophene monomers on iodine-covered gold surfaces [22,23].…”

Surface Tectonics of Nanoporous Networks of Melamine‐Capped Molecular Building Blocks formed through Interface Schiff‐Base Reactions

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Until now, various functional molecules have been shown to be able to self-assemble into interesting nanostructures, such as ribbons and networks, through various non-covalent interactions, including hydrogen-bonding [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and van der Waals interactions [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] or metal-organic coordination. [1][2][3][4][5] Until now, various functional molecules have been shown to be able to self-assemble into interesting nanostructures, such as ribbons and networks, through various non-covalent interactions, including hydrogen-bonding [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and van der Waals interactions [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] or metal-organic coordination.…”

“…Self-assembled molecular nanostructures are important candidates for functional materials and for molecule-based miniature devices. [1][2][3][4][5] Until now, various functional molecules have been shown to be able to self-assemble into interesting nanostructures, such as ribbons and networks, through various non-covalent interactions, including hydrogen-bonding [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and van der Waals interactions [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] or metal-organic coordination. [21][22][23][24][25] In particular, the formation of hydrogen bonds between functional groups has been extensively explored to guide the assembly of hierarchical molecular architectures, owing to their directionality and stability.…”
