“…Moreover, interface nanoarchitectonics analyzes different defects present in the lattice structure of TMCs, including intercalated impurities, grain boundaries, vacancies, and phase conversion, and their consequences on the electronic features of TMCs. Proper interface engineering can remarkably enable charge carrier density, creating active heteroatom intercalation and decreasing the contact resistance in electronic devices.…”

“…Nanoarchitectonics, which builds materials from molecules and atoms, is a methodology that can be applied to the creation of all materials. It can be a Method for Everything in material chemistry [ 201 , 202 ], analogous to the Theory of Everything in physics [ 203 ]. In fact, nanoarchitectonics has a wide range of applications.…”

The next step in nanotechnology is to establish a methodology to assemble new functional materials based on the knowledge of nanotechnology. This task is undertaken by nanoarchitectonics. In nanoarchitectonics, we architect functional material systems from nanounits such as atoms, molecules, and nanomaterials. In terms of the hierarchy of the structure and the harmonization of the function, the material created by nanoarchitectonics has similar characteristics to the organization of the functional structure in biosystems. Looking at actual biofunctional systems, dynamic properties and interfacial environments are key. In other words, nanoarchitectonics at dynamic interfaces is important for the production of bio-like highly functional materials systems. In this review paper, nanoarchitectonics at dynamic interfaces will be discussed, looking at recent typical examples. In particular, the basic topics of “molecular manipulation, arrangement, and assembly” and “material production” will be discussed in the first two sections. Then, in the following section, “fullerene assembly: from zero-dimensional unit to advanced materials”, we will discuss how various functional structures can be created from the very basic nanounit, the fullerene. The above examples demonstrate the versatile possibilities of architectonics at dynamic interfaces. In the last section, these tendencies will be summarized, and future directions will be discussed.

“…5,6 Often, unit molecules create self-assembled structures via supramolecular nanoarchitectonics to achieve novel functions. 7 The LB technique has been widely used to design unique supramolecular architectures at interfaces that are otherwise difficult to obtain in bulk. The thermotropic discotic liquid crystals change their alignment with temperature; there are lots of reports on it in bulk, but the temperature-dependent studies of its 2D counterpart, i.e., Langmuir monolayer, are limited.…”

Enhancing molecular self-assembly at the monolayer level offers significant potential for various applications. For monolayers made of π-conjugated discotic liquid crystal (DLC) molecule nanowires, achieving precise separation and alignment of these nanowires has been a long-standing challenge. This research explores an approach using the manipulation of subphase temperature and surface pressure within a Langmuir trough to control molecular nanowire separation. We observe notable temperature-dependent behavior: as the temperature increases from 5 to 30 °C, the monolayer collapse pressure rises steadily. In contrast, temperatures from 35 to 50 °C exhibit an initial small plateau with a nonzero slope that becomes more distinct with rising temperature. Our study of Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) films provides crucial insights into the monolayer's structure. At lower temperatures, the LB films show coalesced molecular nanowires, whereas at higher temperatures, the DLC nanowires separate and form an interconnected network. Remarkably, upon compression, this network transforms into a compact, highly uniform monolayer. To explain these temperature-dependent behaviors, we examine the area relaxation curves, which indicate a two-step molecular loss mechanism involving desorption and monolayer collapse due to the nucleation and growth of critical nuclei. This extensive study offers valuable insights into the dynamic interaction of the temperature, surface pressure, and molecular assembly, enhancing our understanding of the fundamental processes in monolayer self-assembly.
