The careful design and delicate synthesis of a number of catenanes and rotaxanes have led to their incorporation into monolayers, and then from these monolayers in the form of Langmuir-Blodgett films onto patterned silicon substrates. This step, followed by the deposition of a second metal layer in the perpendicular direction to form a crossbar, has resulted in the production of an ever-growing number of electrical devices in which the switching is carried out at junctions one molecule thick.

In this chapter we study the overview of the various naturally and artificially prepared self-assembled nanostructures which are currently very important and in demand in biomedical applications, for example, bone tissues, natural laminated composites present in sea shells, peptide chain arrays and their derivatives and cell membranes are naturally self-assembled materials. And Langmuir—Blodgett films, surfactant-directed nonporous materials, and molecularly directed films, composites, nanombes, nanofibrils, nanowires, spherical vesicles, and template-assisted growth are artificially prepared self-assembled nanostructures. Here we discuss in brief the synthesis of those nanostructures which exist in nature and are prepared artificially to fulfill certain requirements (Figure 2.1). 

We have shown that the synthesis and the Langmuir-Blodgett film formation of promising D-a-A molecules is now well under control. Simple tests of rectification having failed, we still hope to perform a realistic test of the asymmetric electrical conductivity through single D-a-A molecules by STM in the not too distant future.
