Abstract: | The nanoarchitectonics concept enables us to produce functional systems and materials from nanoscale units through nanotechnological approaches together with the processes including chemical syntheses, atom/molecule manipulations, self-assemblies, self-organizations, field-induced material regulations, and bio-related processes. Especially, manipulations of molecules (molecular machines) and sophisticated organization would be attractive targets in interfacial nanoarchitectonics. In this short review, we introduce several typical examples on manipulations of functional molecules and molecular machines at interfacial media. The examples are classified roughly according to driving forces of manipulations; (i) manipulations through chemical reactions and interactions; (ii) light-driven manipulations; (iii) electrically controlled manipulations; (iv) mechanical manipulations. Future possibilities of molecular manipulations at interfaces such as usages in biological systems are discussed in perspective section. |
