title: Large area synthesis of a nanoporous two-dimensional polymer at the air/water interface.
abstract: We present the synthesis of a two-dimensional polymer at the air/water interface and its nm-resolution imaging. Trigonal star, amphiphilic monomers bearing three anthraceno groups on a central triptycene core are confined at the air/water interface. Compression followed by photopolymerization on the interface provides the two-dimensional polymer. Analysis by scanning tunneling microscopy suggests that the polymer is periodic with ultrahigh pore density.
