Structural Characterization of Interfacial Supramolecular Assemblies

The past decade has seen a dramatic improvement in the strategies and instrumentation available to characterize the structures of interfacial supramolecular assemblies. Current thrusts are towards in situ techniques that probe the structure of the interfacial supramolecular assembly with increasingly fine spatial and time resolution. The objective of this field is to assemble reaction centers around which the environment is purposefully structured at the molecular level, but extends over supramolecular domains. The properties of the assembly are controlled not only by the properties of the molecular building blocks but especially by the interface. Therefore, the focus is on both the interfacial and bulk properties of monolayers and thin films. Issues that need to be addressed include the film thickness, structural homogeneity and long-range order, as well as the electrochemical and... [Pg.60]

Electrodes represent an unrivaled platform onto which interfacial supramolecular structures can be assembled. They can be fully characterized before assembly and offer a convenient means to both probe and control the properties of the film. The interest in this area has increased dramatically in recent years because adsorbed monolayers enable both the nature of the chemical functional groups and their topology to be controlled. This molecular-level control allows the effects of both chemical and geometric properties on electron transfer rates to be explored. Moreover, these assemblies underpin technologies ranging from electrocatalysis to redox-switchable non-linear optical materials. [Pg.72]
