TL;DR: The capability to build zero and one-dimensional electroactive molecular nanostructures ordered over a macroscopic scale and stable under ambient conditions is demonstrated, paving the way to an all-bottom-up fabrication of nanostructureured templates for nanosciences.
Abstract: We demonstrate the capability to build zero and one-dimensional electroactive molecular nanostructures ordered over a macroscopic scale and stable under ambient conditions. To realize these arrays, we use the selective grafting of functionalized thiols (juglon and terthiophene based) on a self-organized metallic template. The nanoscale patterning of the molecular conductance is demonstrated and analyzed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Finally, the influence of the nanostructuring on electro-chemical properties is measured, paving the way to an all-bottom-up fabrication of nanostructured templates for nanosciences.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of inorganic nanocrystals (nanoalloys or homogeneous) as a building block to elaborate a new class of materials with unique properties compared to the single nanoparticles or solid materials.
Abstract: In this chapter, we focus on the use of inorganic nanocrystals (nanoalloys or homogeneous) as a building block to elaborate a new class of materials with unique properties compared to the single nanoparticles or solid materials. Hence, chemical and physical approach of the self-organization are presented and discussed.
