The synthesis and self-assembly of two new phenylacetylene macrocycle (PAM) organogelators were performed. Polar 2-hydroxyethoxy side chains were incorporated in the inner part of the macrocycles to modify the assembly mode in the gel state. With this modification, it was possible to increase the reactivity of the macrocycles in the xerogel state to form polydiacetylenes (PDAs), leading to a significant enhancement of the polymerization yields. The organogels and the PDAs were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Gold nanoparticle self-assembly behaviour on a mica surface was investigated. A large-scale modified partially hydrated polyacrylamide network on a mica surface was successfully fabricated with a simple method. Gold nanoparticles were self-assembled onto a two-dimensional polymer network template by electrostatic interaction, and an interesting nanostructured gold morphology with controllable interparticle spacing was formed on the mica surface. By adjusting the gold aqueous concentrations, the particle distance could be optimized to approach strongest coupling between adjacent particles and match the plasmon resonance wavelength to the laser excitation wavelength. Thus, the spacing between nanoparticles could be controlled for tunable surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates for optimal signal amplification.

Development of rapid processes combining hierarchical self-assembly with mesoscopic shape control has remained a challenge. This is particularly true for high-surface-area porous materials essential for applications including separation and detection, catalysis, and energy conversion and storage. We introduce a simple and rapid laser writing method compatible with semiconductor processing technology to control three-dimensionally continuous hierarchically porous polymer network structures and shapes. Combining self-assembly of mixtures of block copolymers and resols with spatially localized transient laser heating enables pore size and pore size distribution control in all-organic and highly conducting inorganic carbon films with variable thickness. The method provides all-laser-controlled pathways to complex high-surface-area structures, including fabrication of microfluidic devices with high-surface-area channels and complex porous crystalline semiconductor nanostructures.

The hydrolysis of surface-bound basic tin-amide moieties with acidic protons of alkynyl chromophores leads to molecular self-assembly of a variety of rigid-rod alkynes on inorganic oxide surfaces such as glass, quartz, and single crystal silicon. Characterization of these newly developed thin films was achieved by contact-angle goniometry, FTIR-ATR, ellipsometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which indicate that these thin films are densely packed. Comparative molecular mechanics modeling studies on unbound and chemisorbed -Sn-Ctriple bondC-H monomer, dimer, trimer, and a 12 × 12 (144 molecule) model substrate, suggest that surface anchoring of Sn-alkynyl units is essential for highly ordered thin-film structures that can effect topochemical polymerization. Preliminary MO calculations on a 4 × 4 model show conjugated molecular orbitals through the system.Key words: molecular self-assembly, rigid-rod alkynes, acid-base hydrolysis, tin-alkynyl thin films, molecular mechanics modeling studies, topochemical polymerization, molecular orbitals.
