The hierarchical construction of cross-junctions of molecular wires with covalent and noncovalent interactions at the liquid/solid interface.
Hierarchical networks, constructed by non-covalent bond stabilized cross-junctions of covalent one-dimensional molecular wires, are synergistically formed at the liquid/solid interface through in situ on-surface condensation of aromatic amines and aldehydes. Our investigation demonstrates the significant impact of the concentration and structure of monomers on the hierarchical construction of these nanoarchitectures at the interface.
