Traditional Hydrogen Bonded Supramolecular Assemblies

As with more traditional aspects of supramolecular chemistry, the approach to the formation of a self-assembled array can be as complex as one desires. Thus, the simplest approach in creating a surface-based self-assembled shucture is to use a single molecule capable of creating a supramolecular structure without the need to add an additional agent. An early example of the formation of a uni-molecular supramolecular structure mediated by hydrogen bonding was reported by Griessl et al The structure is...
