The water, of course! Impurity-induced polymorphism in the self-assembly of interfacial trimesic acid monolayers

MHManuela HockeNMNatalia MartsinovichMLMarkus Lackinger

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how impurities affect the polymorphic behavior during the self-assembly of trimesic acid monolayers.
  • Utilized Scanning Tunneling Microscopy to visualize monolayer structures.
  • Analyzed the influence of different impurities on self-assembly processes.
  • Investigated the formation of polymorphic structures under varying conditions.
  • Identified distinct polymorphic forms of trimesic acid influenced by specific impurities.
  • Illustrated how impurities lead to variations in molecular arrangement in monolayers.
  • Demonstrated the potential for tailored material properties by adjusting impurities.

Abstract

The self-assembly of supramolecular monolayers at liquid-solid interfaces has been extensively studied over the last three decades, predominantly by Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy. Early on, evidence accumulated that polymorphism -the formation...
