NanoarchitecturesUnder appropriate conditions, small molecular and polymeric building blocks self-assemble into various nanoarchitectures including thin fi lms and 1D structures. This image illustrates dynamic self-assembly of nanowires with highly monodisperse dimensions from small amphiphilic porphyrin molecules at a solid substrate. Resulting nanostructures can be manipulated by obliteration and regrowth using a probe microscope tip. Intermolecular interactions at interfaces supply an important route for preparation of similar fi nely structured functional thin-fi lm materials at the molecular and nanometric levels.
