Control of single molecular nanodot patterns of phenyl azomethine dendrimers by statistical simulation.
Precisely synthesized subnanometer particles of metals or metal oxides can be prepared using dendritic polyphenyl azomethines as the template. With a goal of their arrays to a surface using a simple and quick process, such as spin-casting, statistical analyses were applied to a nanodot array of the dendrimers to obtain the relationship between the experimental condition and the results such as size, spacing, or its standard deviations. The dot patterns of a single molecular dendrimer on a substrate were able to be predicted with numerical values of the experimental parameters associated with the spin coat (concentration of the dendrimer, physical properties of solvent, the spin coating recipe, temperature of the solution, relative humidity (RH)) as the inputs for the statistical analysis.
