Multicomponent Monolayer Architectures at the Solid–Liquid Interface: Towards Controlled Space‐Confined Properties and Reactivity of Functional Building Blocks

Multicomponent organic monolayers: Full nanometer-scale organization and positioning of molecules into monolayers at surfaces represents a major challenge for nanotechnology. In this context, recent scanning tunneling microscopy studies were carried out on multicomponent monolayers (for example, involving donor and acceptor molecules) or template monolayers for controlling the adsorption position of functional molecules (see STM image).
