Ionic interaction-induced assemblies of bimolecular “chessboard” structures

Abstract

Here we applied ionic interactions as the driving force to fabricate well-ordered bicomponent assemblies by using two porphyrin ions equipped with oppositely-charged groups. Two kinds of bimolecular chessboard structures were successfully constructed on Au(111) and investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).
