Our attention is mainly focused on： （1） recognition of Fe3＋ through twocomponent molecular networks; （2） site-selective fabrication of 2D fullerene arrays; and （3） fabrication of the nanoporous structure regulated by photoisomerization reaction process. It is envisioned that special supramolecular nanostructures, through H-bonding interactions, can be constructed or reconstructed to be further investigated toward the research of multi-component systems, molecule recognition, single molecular switches, and host-guest supramolecular chemistry.展开更多

STM images of molecular adlayers of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin（Zn TPP）, zinc phthalocyanine（Zn Pc）, and their mixture are reported. Zn TPP and Zn Pc can spontaneously form highly an ordered structure with a 1：1 molar ratio, which is different from that of individual Zn Pc. The coordinated bimolecular complexes bridged with axial ligands, simply as Zn Pc–DPP–Zn TPP and Zn Pc–DPE–Zn Pc, are presented and the corresponding surface structures are compared. Zn Pc and Zn TPP can be connected by an axial ligand DPP and formed assembled structures out of surface. Two types of arrays with entirely new structure are obtained for the Zn Pc–DPE–Zn Pc complex. These bridged hybrid complexes provide an example of design of self-organized crystals on the basis of coordination through non-covalent interactions.展开更多
