Article Abstract
The growth of an extended supramolecular network using dipolar molecules as the building blocks is of great technological interest. We investigated the self-assembly of a dipolar molecule on an Au(111) surface. The formation of an extended two-dimensional network was demonstrated by scanning tunnelling microscopy under ultra-high vacuum and explained in terms of molecule-molecule interactions. This 2D-network is still stable under the pressure of one atmosphere of nitrogen, which demonstrated its interest for the development of submolecular-precisely polyfunctional smart surfaces.

Six new macrocycles incorporating glycolipids containing one triazole ring in their structures were synthesized via intramolecular macrocyclic closure. The synthesis strategy is based on the different reactivities of primary and secondary hydroxyl groups on the monosaccharides. The protecting of hydroxyls on 4,6-positions by benzylidene, followed by benzylation of 2,3-positions and removal of the benzylidene, selectively left over the free secondary and primary hydroxyl on 4- and 6-carbons, respectively.

We report on the dynamic self-assembly of TiO-Fe photocatalytic colloidal motors into reconfigurable superstructures when subjected to UV illumination, magnetic fields, and acoustic confinement. Tuning the light intensity and magnetic field strength enables control over cluster size, rotation speed, and structural compactness. Four distinct phases emerge from the interplay of dipolar repulsion, self-propulsion, and phoretic attraction.

Nano-sized particles of semiconducting lead sulfide and selenide and their 2D thin layers show high potential in applications, such as field-effect transistors, photodetectors, solar cells, and thermoelectric devices. The generation of PbS and PbSe nanobars and nanocubes is evoked by in situ electron beam treatment, leading to the formation of thin, extended 2D nanolayers. The initial single crystals are decomposed via sublimation of PbS and PbSe in terms of molecular and atomic fragments, which finally condense on the cold substrate to form nanostructures.

We study the self-assembly of magnetic colloids using the Stockmayer (SM) model characterized by short-range Lennard-Jones interactions and long-range dipole-dipole interactions. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we design cooling protocols that yield perfectly assembled single-domain magnetic crystals. We identify cooling rates at which the system transforms from an amorphous glass to a crystal, where magnetic ordering promotes crystalline order.
