Dynamic Host-Guest Behavior In Halogen-Bonded Two-Dimensional Molecular Networks Investigated By Scanning Tunneling Microscopy At The Solid/Liquid Interface
NANOSCALE ADVANCES(2020)
摘要
The fabrication of supramolecularly engineered two-dimensional (2D) networks using simple molecular building blocks is an effective means for studying host-guest chemistry at surfaces toward the potential application of such systems in nanoelectronics and molecular devices. In this study, halogen-bonded molecular networks were constructed by the combination of linear halogen-bond donor and acceptor ligands, and their 2D structures at the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite/1-phenyloctane interface were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. The bi-component blend of the molecular building blocks possessing tetradecyloxy chains formed a lozenge structure via halogen bonding. Upon the introduction of an appropriate guest molecule (e.g., coronene) into the system, the 2D structure transformed into a hexagonal array, and the central pore of this array was occupied by the guest molecules. Remarkably, the halogen bonding of the original structure was maintained after the introduction of the guest molecule. Thus, the halogen-bonded molecular networks are applicable for assembling guest species on the substrate without the requirement of the conventional rigid molecular building blocks with C-3 symmetry.
