Halogen bonds are currently new noncovalent interactions due to their moderate strength and high directionality, which are widely investigated in crystal engineering. The study about supramolecular two-dimensional architectures on solid surfaces fabricated by halogen bonding has been performed recently. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has the advantages of realizing in situ, real-time, and atomic-level characterization. Our group has carried out molecular self-assembly induced by halogen bonds at the liquid–solid interface for about ten years. In this review, we mainly describe the concept and history of halogen bonding and the progress in the self-assembly of halogen-based organic molecules at the liquid/graphite interface in our laboratory. Our focus is mainly on (1) the effect of position, number, and type of halogen substituent on the formation of nanostructures; (2) the competition and cooperation of the halogen bond and the hydrogen bond; (3) solution concentration and solvent effects on the molecular assembly; and (4) a deep understanding of the self-assembled mechanism by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Scanning tunneling microscopy images of trithia-9-crown-3 and octathia-24-crown-8 self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) reveal completely different SAM structures for the two kinds of thiacrown molecules at liquid n-tetradecane/Au(111) interface.

This study observes the morphology of self-assembled organic thin film that is formed at room temperature using a Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and examines its electrical properties using a Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (STS). The specimen used in this experiment that has a functional group for both sides and will be controlled to make self-assembled onto the Au (111) substrate. After the dilution of the specimen by 1 mM/ml and self-assembled onto the Au (111) substrate. Using a STM, the images of organic thin film can be observed. In addition, the electrical properties of organic thin film can also be examined by the junction structure of STM–organic thin film– Au (111) substrate by using a STM tip. As a result, we measured current–voltage (I–V) curve using STS, I–V curve also clearly shows several current peaks between the negative bias region (-1.42 V) and the positive bias region (1.30 V), respectively.
