S. Prokhorova, for skillful measurements with scanning probe techniques. This work was financially supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (SH 46/2-1), Graduiertenkol-leg-328 Molecular organization and dynamics on surfaces and interfaces . 

As mentioned before, we shall use small molecules to introduce the fundamentals for more complex molecules, the real core of this book, which will be listed in the next section. Such molecules form solids with remarkable properties (metallicity, superconductivity, ferromagnetism, etc.), some of them at ambient conditions or at much lower hydrostatic pressures than those found for H2 and N2, and some technological applications have been already developed, deserving the name of functional materials. Most of the molecules studied in this book are planar, or nearly planar, which means that the synthesized materials reveal a strong 2D structural character, although the physical properties can be strongly ID, and because of this 2D distribution we shall study surfaces and interfaces in detail. In particular, interfaces play a crucial role in the intrinsic properties of crystalline molecular organic materials and Chapter 4 is devoted to them.

In order to describe what happens in the molecular organization at smaller areas and understand the process undergone by water molecules and counterions under these conditions, it was also developed molecular modeling of a P4VPCi4 mono-layer with full quaternization. Two different surface areas were taken into account. One would correspond to the limiting area A0 (34 A2) and another to a larger area (40 A2) than the first one. When the compression is beginning to reach 40 A2, the lateral chains could be considered almost vertical at the air-water interface. (See Fig. 3.15). The situation shown in Fig. 3.15 seems to favor hydrophobic interaction between them. 

In this section, following (29), we discuss the electrooptical properties of an asymmetric stack of organic donor-acceptor (D-A) interfaces. As we mentioned, the technological progress in molecular organic beam deposition is very fast and there is little doubt that a variety of such systems will be synthesized in the near future. With this in mind, we discuss the properties of a superlattice of...
