Article Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the supramolecular assemblies from a bifunctional ligand on Au(111), towards engineering two-dimensional (metal-) organic multilevel nanostructures. The bifunctional ligand employed, including two Br atoms and one carboxylic terminal, offers multiple bonding motifs with different configurations and binding energies. These bonding motifs are highly self-selective and self-recognizable, and thus afford the formation of subunits that contribute to engineering multilevel self-assemblies. Our scanning tunneling microscopy experiments, in combination with the density functional theory calculations, revealed various hydrogen, halogen and alkali-carboxylate bonding motifs dictating the different levels of the assemblies. The multilevel assembly protocol based on a judicious choice of multiple bonding motifs guarantees a deliberate control of surface-confined (metal-) organic nanostructures. Our findings may present new opportunities for the fabrication of complex two-dimensional (metal-) organic nanostructures with potential in applications of functionally diverse nanomaterials.

Transcutaneous devices such as dental implants frequently fail due to infections at their interfaces with epithelial tissues. These infections are facilitated by the lack of integration between the devices and the surrounding soft tissues. This study aims to improve epithelial integration through surface modification of a transcutaneous implant material (polyetheretherketone (PEEK)).

Glycocins are a growing family of ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs) that are O- and/or S-glycosylated. Using a sequence similarity network of putative glycosyltransferases, the thg biosynthetic gene cluster was identified in the genome of Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum. Heterologous expression in Escherichia coli showed that the glycosyltransferase (ThgS) encoded in the biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) adds N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) to Ser and Cys residues of ThgA.

The conformation of the title mol-ecule, CHClNO, is maintained by intra-molecular N-H⋯O, C-H⋯O, and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions, creating (6), (5), and (6) motifs, respectively. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O, C-H⋯O, and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions connect the mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. Additionally, the mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming layers parallel to the (002) plane.

The mol-ecular conformation of the title compound, CHNO·CHNO, is consolidated by intra-molecular C-H⋯O O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an (6) ring motif. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the (101) plane. Furthermore, the mol-ecules form layers parallel to the (102) plane by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

The title compound, CHNO·Br·CBr, consists of one 4-formyl-,-di-methyl-benzenaminium bromide and a tetra-bromo-methane mol-ecule. In the crystal, the bromide ions link 4-formyl-,-di-methyl-benzenaminium moieties through inter-molecular C-H⋯Br and N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, while inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link 4-formyl-,-di-methyl-benzenaminium cations, enclosing (18) ring motifs, into a di-periodic network structure. The tetra-bromo-methane mol-ecules fill the spaces between the layers.
