The Lewis pair series shows structural variations in the arrangements of the BTBT moiety: 1D π-stacked columns covered by TPFB, slipped columns, and cofacial dimers. Quantum chemical calculations are performed to quantify the intermolecular electronic coupling and bandgaps, which reveal that the 1D columns are electronically fragmented at the dimer or tetramer level. In response to the degree of electronic aggregations, the Lewis pairs exhibit red-shifted fluorescence, reaching 5810 cm<sup>−1</sup> from the emission maximum of the non-substituted BTBT (397 nm) to that of one crystal form (516 nm). Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals that one Lewis pair is loosely gathered on the Ag(111) surface without any ordered arrangement of the adsorbates, differing from that in the solid phase. Furthermore, vibrational fingerprinting of the Lewis pair is achieved using tip-enhanced Raman scattering techniques at the single-molecule level, including the B–N and C–S stretching characteristics.

Adsorption kinetics and binding affinities determined by QCM-D reveal sequence-specific differences in association and dissociation rates, which correlate with the viscoelastic properties of the adsorbed layers. SRCD spectra show that all peptides adopt predominantly disordered conformations in solution but exhibit facet-dependent spectral shifts upon adsorption onto platinum nanoparticles, consistent with conformational adaptation at the interface. The combined data highlight the importance of amino acid composition, kinetic binding parameters, and conformational flexibility in governing Pt–PtBP interactions.
