"Concentration-in-Control" self-assembly concept at the liquid-solid interface challenged.

ABSTRACT: Self-assembled molecular networks (SAMNs) on surfaces evoke a lot of interest, both from a fundamental as well as application point of view. When formed at the liquid-solid interface, precise control over different polymorphs can be achieved by simply adjusting the concentration of molecular building blocks in solution. Significant influence of solute concentration on self-assembly behavior has been observed, whether the self-assembly behavior is controlled by either van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonding interactions. In both cases, high- and low-density supramolecular networks have been observed at high and low solute concentrations, respectively. In contrast to this "concentration-in-control" self-assembly concept here we report an atypical concentration dependent self-assembly behavi
