The self-assembly properties of a series of functionalized regioregular oligo(3-alkylthiophenes) were investigated by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at the liquid–solid interface under ambient conditions. The characteristics of the 2-D crystals formed on the (0001) plane of highly ordered pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) strongly depend on the length of the π-conjugated oligomer backbone, on the functional groups attached to it, and on the alkyl substitution pattern on the individual thiophene units. Theoretical calculations were performed to analyze the geometry and electronic density of the molecular orbitals as well as to analyze the intermolecular interactions, in order to obtain models of the 2-D molecular ordering on the substrate.

We report for the first time the fabrication of hierarchical ordered superstructure CuB2O4 with flower-like morphology via a one-step, low temperature hydrothermal method. The tetragonal structure of CuB2O4 was determined by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Optical measurements attested of the quality of the fabricated CuB2O4 and high temperature X-ray diffraction confirmed its thermal stability up to 600 ?C. The oriented attachment growth and the hierarchical self-assembly of micrometer-sized platelets producing hierarchical superstructures with flower-like morphology are designed by pH of the hydrothermal solution. The excellent band gap, high thermal stability and hierarchical structure of the CuB2O4 are promising for the photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications.
