Two-dimensional assembly of giant molecules
Zhongguo Liu, Deyu Kong & Xue-Hui Dong
Sci. China Chem., 2018, 61(1): 88–96
This mini review summarizes recent progress on two-dimensional (2D) self-assembly of giant molecules. Two critical factors with significant impact on the formation of nanostructure are highlighted, i.e., the dimensional constraint of 2D geometry, and the conformational constraint imposed the rigid molecular nanoparticles (MNPs).
