Self‐Assembly of Periodic Bicomponent Wires and Ribbons

Extended order: Co-deposition of two molecular species with complementary hydrogen-bonding motifs on a naturally patterned template surface has been shown by STM studies to promote the formation of the anticipated three hydrogen bonds per heteromolecular pair to give 1D heteromolecular "wires" (see picture) and supramolecular ribbons. The superlattice of the template surface guides the supramolecular organization over extended surface areas. (Figure Presented).
