Abstract: | 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). Diverse 2D nanostructures have been fabricated in condensed state and solution by rational molecular design. The collective secondary interactions between functional groups on the periphery of the MNPs and their persistent shape, together with the dimensional limit, change the free energy landscape and lead to unconventional nanostructures. The unique molecular properties of giant molecules endow these 2D structures with promising technological applications. |
