Many intriguing aspects of molecular electronics are attributed to organic-inorganic interactions, yet charge transfer through such junctions still requires fundamental study. Recently, there is a growing interest in anchoring groups, which considered dominating the charge transport. With this respect, we choose to investigate self-assembly of disilane molecules sandwiched between gold surface and gold nanoparticles. These assemblies are found to exhibit covalent bonds not only between the anchoring Si groups and the gold surfaces but also in plane crosslinks that increase the monolayer stability. Finally, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy we demonstrate that the disilane molecules provide strong electrical coupling between the Au nanoparticles and a superconductor substrate.

The successful self-assembly of a stimuli-responsive aqueous supramolecular hyperbranched polymer from small molecules and the macrocyclic host cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) is reported. This self-healing supramolecular network can act as a soft matter barrier at liquid–liquid interfaces.

The influence of hydrogen bonding on the morphological transition of Pluronic P123 micelles is experimentally and theoretically investigated by introducing three small molecules, i.e. propyl benzoate (PB), propyl paraben (PP) and propyl gallate (PG).

Au nanoparticles arrays for silicon solar cells were fabricated by self-assembly method to accommodate manufacturing process of traditional silicon solar cells. Surface morphologies of 10-30 nm thick films after annealing treatment at 600 °C and 700 °C were analyzed. It indicated that morphological features of Au nanoparticles arrays such as particle shapes, size distribution vary with thicknesses of Au films, annealing temperatures and surface morphologies of substrates.
