Self-assembled physisorbed monolayers consist of regular two-dimensional arrays of molecules. Two-dimensional self-assembly of organic and metal–organic building blocks is a widely used strategy for nanoscale functionalization of surfaces. These supramolecular nanostructures are typically sustained by weak non-covalent forces such as van der Waals, electrostatic, metal–ligand, dipole–dipole and hydrogen bonding interactions. A wide variety of structurally very diverse monolayers have been fabricated under ambient conditions at the liquid–solid and air–solid interface or under ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) conditions at the UHV–solid interface. The outcome of the molecular self-assembly process depends on a variety of factors such as the nature of functional groups present on assembling molecules, the type of solvent, the temperature at which the molecules assemble and the concentration of the building blocks. The objective of this review is to provide a brief account of the progress in understanding various parameters affecting two-dimensional molecular self-assembly through illustration of some key examples from contemporary literature.

We investigated the self-assembly of rationally designed γ-Phe on Au(111) using STM with DFT calculations. In contrast to α-Phe, γ-Phe self-assembled into 2D molecular network. The better self-association was attributed to conformational preorganization through intramolecular interaction.

Surprise! against expectations, increasing (decreasing) the solute concentration leads to the formation of a low-density (high-density) self-assembled molecular network at the liquid–solid interface.

A kind of novel superstructure array composed of hexagonal Bi2Se3 nanosheets were fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method. The structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron micrioscopy. It is suggested that the two dimensional superstructure was self-assembled by sheet-like Bi2Se3 building blocks on naturally-formed Bi2SeO2 precusor template. The present result indicates one promising way in design and growth of self-assembled superstructures by controllable crystal growth from deoxided substrates with good lattice match.
