文摘
Side chains containing two diacetylene units spaced by an odd number of methylene units exhibit pronounced 鈥渂umps鈥?composed of 0.3 nm steps, in opposite directions, at odd and even side-chain positions. In densely packed self-assembled monolayers, the bis-diacetylene bumps stack into each other, similar to the stacking of paper cups. Bis-diacetylene side chain structure and associated packing constraints can be tailored by altering the bump width, direction, side-chain location, and overall side-chain length as a means to direct the identities and alignments of adjacent molecules within monolayers. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at the solution鈥揌OPG interface confirms the high selectivity and fidelity with which bis-diacetylene bump stacking directs the packing of shape-complementary side chains within one-component monolayers and within two-component, 1-D self-patterned monolayers. Drop cast or moderately annealed monolayers of anthracenes bearing two bis-diacetylene side chains assemble single domains as large as 105 nm2. Light-induced cross-linking of two-component, 1-D patterned monolayers generates linear polydiacetylene alternating copolymers (A-B-)x and 2-D grid polydiacetylene alternating copolymers (A-B--B-A-B--B-)x that covalently lock in monolayer structure and patterns.
