Essay
Methods for creating advanced materials such as 2-D and 3-D nanostructured
materials and devices using chemical approaches typically include both
molecular self-assembly through weak noncovalent interactions and directed-assembly
of molecules via the formation of strong covalent bonds with solid surfaces.
The application of the self-assembly and directed-assembly to the syntheses
of nanoscale materials and devices is determined by a thorough understanding
of various surface chemistry at nanoscale involved in these assembly
processes as these assemblies originate from surface reactions or/and
interfacial non-covalent interactions at nanoscale. We term the surface
science involved in the syntheses of nanomaterials and fabrication of
nanodevices as nanoscale surface science. Although tremendous studies
have been carried out in the syntheses and functions of nanostructured
organic/inorganic 1-D/2-D/3-D materials and devices, the nanoscale surface
chemistry and the connection between the surface chemistry and materials
synthesis and properties were few addressed. This dissertation research
explored experimentally the nanoscale surface chemistry occurred in
the self assembly and directed-assembly of various organic molecules
on solid surfaces and the synthesis of nanostructured organic architectures
on solid surfaces, and successfully developed conceptually new synthetic
methodologies which produce nanostructured organic architectures....[full
