Theoretical modeling evaluates structural outcomes of functional molecules in varied interaction modes, suggesting design choices for molecular architectures.

Key Points

The aim is to understand how two-in-one building blocks impact molecular self-assembly on surfaces.
Utilized coarse-grained Monte Carlo modeling for simulations
Examined self-assembly of tripod molecules with two types of active centers
Analyzed effects of homotypic and heterotypic interaction modes
Studied variations in isomers' intramolecular distributions
Formation of diverse superstructures, including oligomers and networks
Heterotypic interactions hindered growth of ordered molecular structures
Interaction mode and tecton properties significantly influenced assembly outcomes
Insights can aid in selecting optimal building blocks for future molecular designs
