title: Charge-assisted hydrogen bond-directed self-assembly of an amphiphilic zwitterionic quinonemonoimine at the liquid-solid interface.
abstract: Charge-assisted hydrogen bond-directed self-assembly of a zwitterionic quinonemonoimine was investigated at the liquid/solid interface using scanning tunnelling microscopy. Factors governing morphology, chirality and multilayer formation are discussed, presenting an important foundation for understanding the properties of a large family of related molecules with interesting potential in supramolecular design.
