The pursuit of methods for design and preparation robust nanoarchitectonic systems with integrated functionality through bottom-up methodologies remains a driving force in molecular nanotechnology. Through the use π-conjugated covalent bonds, we demonstrate general substrate-mediated, soft solution methodology extended polymeric nanoarchitectures low-dimensions. Based on thermodynamic control over equilibrium polymerization at solid–liquid interface whereby aromatic building blocks...

Abstract A series of necklace-shaped dimethylsiloxane (DMS) polymers bearing a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) cage were synthesized from bifunctional POSS by two different synthetic routes. One-step or two-step polycondensation between and dimethyloligosiloxane dichloride led to necklace with constant chain lengths (n = 2–8). The ring-opening polymerization octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) was also found provide similar dispersed DMS. thermal properties, decomposition...

Two-dimensional (2D) arrays of π-conjugated aromatic polymers produced by surface-selective Schiff base coupling reactions between an diamine and dialdehyde were investigated in detail using situ scanning tunneling microscopy. Surface-selective was achieved for almost all diamine/dialdehyde combinations attempted, although several did not proceed even homogeneous aqueous alkaline solution. Most the a dialdehyde, except 4,4'-azodianiline with mono/bithiophenedicarboxaldehyde, formed highly...
