Aromatic carboxylic acid self-assembly has been a hot research field for many scientists due
to its strong coordination ability and flexible coordination mode. The hydrogen bond formed …

The self-assembly behaviors of a benzothiadiazole-based liquid crystalline molecule (BT-C
14) were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). STM observations show the …

Three types of moiré patterns, denoted as α-, β-, and γ-patterns, were observed in the
molecular self-assembly of 1, 3, 5-tris (4-cyanophenyl) benzene (TCPB) on HOPG. Their …

“Coordination-driven self-assembly” offers us an efficient method to fabricate 3D
metallacages and 2D metallacycles with controllable shape and size via simple building …

We employ nondeterministic global cluster structure optimization, based on the evolutionary
algorithms paradigm, to model the self‐assembly of complex molecules on a surface. As a …

We present a mechanistic study on the formation of an active ligand layer over Pd (111),
turning the catalytic surface highly active and selective in partial hydrogenation of an α, β …

Self-organizations of supramolecular assemblies at surfaces typically achieve highly
ordered two-dimensional packing structures due to the negotiation of various intermolecular …

The intermolecular interactions underlying self-assembly are important for designing
supramolecular architectures with defined function and composition over various length …

Carbon-based materials gain much interest because of their ubiquitousness, lightness,
thinness, property tunability, and so on. In this thesis, the author provides novel …

Hierarchical self-assembly can provide a facile route to complex molecular architectures
when building blocks bearing strong and structurally well-defined recognition elements are …
