Abstract
Here we report on the diverse self-assembly behavior of aminothiacalix[4]arene (ATCA) drop-casted or spin-coated onto a silicon substrate. The nanofilms of ATCA feature the picket-fence domains composed of rod-shaped crystals with the mean size of ca. 700 nm, as well as the ornate patterns composed of interdigitating 3.5-µm grooves and periodically alternating ridge-like framework, with the ridge diameter 90 ± 20 nm and ridge spacing of ca. 3.5 μm. DFT calculation of possible ATCA dimers revealed a favorable arrangement of ATCA monomers either in a face parallel fashion expanding into the 1D channel structure or in a face antiparallel fashion affording the 1D zigzag chain structure. UV/Vis spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction data provided further evidence to the existence of thermodynamically favorable π-stacked and hydrogen-bonded ATCA associates in solution and solid state.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry is the premier interdisciplinary publication reporting on original research into all aspects of host-guest systems. Examples of specific areas of interest are: the preparation and characterization of new hosts and new host-guest systems, especially those involving macrocyclic ligands; crystallographic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and theoretical studies; applications in chromatography and inclusion polymerization; enzyme modelling; molecular recognition and catalysis by inclusion compounds; intercalates in biological and non-biological systems, cyclodextrin complexes and their applications in the agriculture, flavoring, food and pharmaceutical industries; synthesis, characterization and applications of zeolites.
The journal publishes primarily reports of original research and preliminary communications, provided the latter represent a significant advance in the understanding of inclusion science. Critical reviews dealing with recent advances in the field are a periodic feature of the journal.
