Book excerpt: Surface-assisted self-assembly of architectures is showing promise for the development of more efficient technologies and processes related to the fields of organic electronics, photovoltaics and heterogeneous catalysis. The detailed understanding of the intermolecular and molecule-substrate interactions that are responsible for resulting surface architectures is necessary for the rational design molecular systems. The experiments detailed within this thesis show that through careful tuning of organic molecules significant changes are observed in the 2-D self-assembly, 3-D stacking, or metal-organic coordination properties.
