title: Growth of individual hydrogen-bonded nanostructures on gold monolayers.
abstract: The growth of individual nanometer-sized (3.4 +/- 1.4 nm) hydrogen bonded assemblies 1(2) x (DEB)6 on gold monolayers was achieved through an exchange reaction between single isolated calix[4]arene dimelamine 2 (1.1 +/- 0.2 nm) embedded in hexanethiol monolayers and double rosette hydrogen bonded assembly 1(3) x (DEB)6 in solution. The growth process was monitored by tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM).
