TL;DR: This work uses hydrogen bonding to guide the assembly of two types of molecules into a two-dimensional open honeycomb network that then controls and templates new surface phases formed by subsequently deposited fullerene molecules, and finds that the open network acts as aTwo-dimensional array of large pores of sufficient capacity to accommodate several large guest molecules.

TL;DR: The adsorption of a diimide derivative of naphthalene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTCDA) on the Ag/Si(111)-√3 × √3R30° surface has been investigated using ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).

TL;DR: A strategy for encouraging the formation of extended water arrays is presented, in which molecules that contain a 1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-dione core are used as supramolecular hosts for the accommodation of guest water molecules and arrays.

TL;DR: It is found that PTCDA forms square, hexagonal, and herringbone phases, which coexist on the surface, and the role of hydrogen bonding in controlling this order is highlighted.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that multimodal ligands can be used to prepare coordination frameworks with novel and unusual topologies and to influence the precise geometrical arrangement of both ligands and metal centers within such supramolecular arrays.
