Aromatic carboxylic acid self-assembly has been a hot research field for many scientists due to its strong coordination ability and flexible coordination mode. The hydrogen bond formed between aromatic carboxylic acids is a strong intermolecular force and has directionality and saturation, which plays a very important role in the self-assembly and regulation of aromatic carboxylic acids. In this review, we introduce surface organization formed by aromatic carboxylic acids with the aid of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). These two-dimensional structures include molecular templates, host-guest systems, and photo-isomerization structures. We also emphasize the thermodynamics and dynamics, which are important research topics of current and future study.

1 Introduction

Less

One of the current focuses of two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular chemistry is to control the spatial organization of the chemical functions of surfaces at the molecular scale [1–6], for example, the structure changes with external environments like concentration [7–10], temperature [11], light and voltage [12–15], entrapping and releasing guest molecules by regulating the host grids [16–23] and so forth. Molecular self-assembly through non-covalent interactions is one of the main processes to form supramolecular arrays. These molecular layers can be self-assembled on a variety of surfaces, such as highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), mica, gold, copper, silicon [24]. Non-covalent interactions include hydrogen bonds [25–27], van der Waals force [28–30], π-π interactions [31–33] electrostatic force [34, 35]. It is worth noting that hydrogen bonds own excellent characteristics of intermolecular interactions. Due to their strength, selectivity and directionality, the assemblies of hydrogen-bonded networks have advantages of predictable shapes, easy synthesis as well as reversible dynamic behavior, which can optimize their perfor-mance in different situations [36–41].

Aromatic carboxylic acids have strong coordination ability and flexible coordination mode [42–44]. The aromatic ring in the aromatic carboxylic acid ligand has a conjugated system which is favorable for electron transfer, and the carboxyl oxygen atom can form hydrogen with the solvent molecule. Therefore, the aromatic carboxylic acid has the ability to form a stable supramolecular structure and exhibits novel and unique physicochemical properties. Aromatic carboxylic acid self-assembly has been a hot research field for many scientists [45–53].

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has become a useful tool of choice for characterizing 2D nanostructured arrays [54-60]. STM provides direct visual cues for molecular organization on solid-gas interfaces, solid-liquid interfaces or in ambient environments. The principle of STM is to measure the electric current through the tip and substrate as a function of spatial position, and the data obtained includes information about the topography and electronic structures. Thus, the STM tips can also be used as an effective tool for local stimuli to execute surface reactions [61–63]. In a word, STM technology has great application potential, such as monitoring molecular dynamics, substrate-induced recombination, molecular manipulation and surface chirality [64–70].

In this review, we focus on surface organization of hydrogen bonds formed by aromatic carboxylic acids. The hydrogen bonding ability has been effectively utilized to achieve the desired morphology and nanostructure on the HOPG surface under ambient conditions. In addition, the host-guest system is also investigated by introducing guest molecules into a template formed by hydrogen bonds. All kinds of molecules used in the review are shown in Scheme 1.

2 Molecular templates on HOPG surface

Less

C3-symmetric π-conjugated planar molecules (Tp, T12, T18, and Ex) are self-assembled at the HA/HOPG interface [71, 72]. These molecules have similar structural central cores but their side lengths are different. In the case of Tp molecules, the self-assembled structure of these flower-shaped molecules is show in Fig. 1a. Each Tp molecule links six adjacent molecules to form large-scale networks. Two triangle-like cavities of the networks are observed in Fig. 1b. The small cavity, called the PhT motif, consists of three peripheral 4, 4′-dicarboxy-o-terphenyl groups, as shown in Fig. 1c the grayscale part. The larger triangle cavity consists of six benzoic acid groups from six peripheral 4, 4′-dicarboxy-o-terphenyl groups (Fig. 1c). The clover-shaped molecules T12 assemble into equilateral-triangle-like domains with sizes of a few tens of nanometers, as shown in Fig. 1d. This is because the solvent HA molecules interact with T12 at the boundary between the domains. Similar to Tp, each T12 molecule connects with six adjacent molecules and two kinds of cavities are observed in one domain (Fig. 1e). Due to the similar PhT motif, the small triangular cavity is approximately equal to the triangular cavity of Tp. The calculated molecular model shows that the irregular hexagonal-shaped cavity consists of six benzoic acid groups from six peripheral 4, 4′-dicarboxy-o-terphenyl groups and three sides of the central core from three T12 molecules (Figs. 1f-h). The self-assemblies of T18 and Ex have analogous porous arrangements. Molecules of T18 self-assemble into two kinds of cavities, PhT motifs and hexagonal-shaped cavity (Figs. 1i and j). According to the molecular structure, there should be a third cavity in the middle of the T18 (Fig. 1k). However, the cavity could not be observed from the STM results. Ex networks are similar to T18 networks, but with larger triangular cavities, and the third triangular cavity in the middle of the molecule Ex can be observed (Figs. 1l and n). As the molecular size increases, the thermal stability of the four molecular components gradually decreases calculated by DFT method. The investigation of these molecules' self-assembled structures provides important guidance in the design of functional conjugated molecules for specific applications [73].

HPB-based compounds are highly symmetrical molecules that can exhibit a particular arrangement that is replaced by an interactive group [74-77]. A series of hexaphenylbenzene (HPB) derivatives (HPB-1, 3, 5-3 A, HPB-1, 2, 4-3 A, and HPB-1, 4-2 A) have been self-assembled at both 1-phenyloctane/HOPG and HA/HOPG interfaces. These molecules are substituted with different numbers of carboxyl groups at different positions. HPB-1, 3, 5-3 A molecules self-assemble at the PO/HOPG interface as shown in Fig. 2a. Mainly four types of cavities are formed, including pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, and octagon structures (Fig. 2b). Pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal and octagonal rings are formed and hexagonal rings are the most common. Three rings connected with a common vertex can be denoted as the "6-6-6" circle "7-5-6" circle and "8-5-6" circle. The 6-6-6 system is more stable than the 7-5-6 and 8-5-6 systems calculated by DFT method. Asymmetrical molecule HPB-1, 2, 4-3 A assembles into four locally ordered patterns at the PO/HOPG interface (Figs. 2d and e). HPB-1, 2, 4-3 A molecules are joined along the para-substituted (1, 4) carboxylic acid to form molecular wires. The orientation of the other substituent determines the formation of a grid or linear structure. The molecular models for these structures show the arrangement clearly (Figs. 2f-h). The HPB-1, 4-2 A molecules cannot obtain self-assembled structures at PO/HOPG interface but they can be loosely arranged by bridging the HA molecules (Fig. 2j). The solvent HA interacts with carboxylic acid groups of the HPB-1, 4-2 A molecules through hydrogen bonds and these HPB-1, 4-2 A molecules are aligned into cavities (Fig. 2h). HPB-1, 2, 4-3 A molecules self-assemble into a well-ordered lamellar structure at the HA/HOPG interface (Fig. 2m). Each of the two HPB-1, 2, 4-3 A molecules interacts through a hydrogen bond between one of the three carboxyl groups and forms a dimer in the shape of a bowknot. The solvent HA molecule interacts with the other two carboxyl groups of the HPB-1, 2, 4-3 A molecule by hydrogen bonding and is arranged in parallel with the alkyl chain of the HA molecule of the HPB-1, 2, 4-3 A bridge (Fig. 2n). The lamellar structures composed of bowknot-shaped dimers are formed by van der Waals interactions [78].

3 Host-guest structures on HOPG surface

Less

The host-guest system of self-assembled structures has been investigated [79-82]. Triphenylene-2, 6, 10-tricarboxylic acid (H₃TTCA) can be regarded as a central triphenylene with a threefold symmetric carboxylic acid functionality. At the HA/HOPG interface, H₃TTCA molecules exclusively self-assemble into honeycomb networks via intermolecular hydrogen bonds between carboxyl groups (Fig. 3a). COR molecules are chosen as the guest molecules to hybridize with H₃TTCA. There are three patterns of H₃TTCA/COR co-adsorption structures, denoted as the domain Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Concentration experiments are carried out to reveal the formation mechanism of each pattern. The H₃TTCA/COR(Ⅰ) pattern the domain is observed at a low concentration of COR solution (Fig. 3c). The H₃TTCA host honeycomb network has been broken down into separate hexagonal rings. One COR molecule is strongly entrapped into the triangle-like cavity formed by three vacant H₃TTCA hexagonal rings. By increasing the concentration of the COR solution, H₃TTCA/COR(Ⅱ) pattern is obtained (Fig. 3e). In this pattern, the original vacant hexagonal cavities in the domain I are filled by COR molecules. The COR can rotate and move slightly inside the pore since the pore is too large for the COR. With an increase of the COR concentration, linear structures (pattern H₃TTCA/COR(Ⅲ)) gradually appear (Fig. 3g). During the process, more H-bonds are broken and the honeycomb network is transformed to parallel quadrilateral cells. The COR molecules are linearly captured into the cavities at a higher molecular packing density. It is inferred that spatial matching and concentration-dependent effects play an important role in the transformation of H₃TTCA host network structures after introducing the COR guest molecule. DFT calculations of the three structures reveal that the stability of the H₃TTCA/COR structures gradually decreases as the concentration of COR increases, which means the host-guest structural polymorphism is most associated with the solution concentration [83].

Unlike the COR molecule mentioned before, H₂Pc is a two-fold symmetrical molecule and it is geometrically mismatched with H₃TTCA pores. After inserting H₂Pc molecules, the original chicken-wire structures rearrange into zigzag molecular rows along one direction. Five kinds of molecular nanoarrays of H₂Pc embed into the H₃TTCA arrays. 2H₂Pc@H₃TTCA is composed of one H₂Pc-formed dimer and two H₃TTCA (Fig. 4a); 3H₂Pc@H₃TTCA consists of a trimer of H₂Pc and two H₃TTCA (Fig. 4b); 4H₂Pc-zigzag@H₃TTCA is composed of a zigzag-shaped tetramer of H₂Pc and two H₃TTCA (Fig. 4c); the composition of 5H₂Pc-zigzag@H₃TTCA (Fig. 4d) is a linear and 5H₂Pc-line@H₃TTCA (Fig. 4e) or a zigzag array of the H₂Pc pentamer and two H₃TTCA respectively. The H₂Pc arrays interact with each other through van der Waals and can be stabilized only by interaction with weak hydrogen bonds of H₃TTCA and H₃TTCA dimers in one direction. 2H₂Pc@H₃TTCA is proved to be the most stable array of the five nanoarrays by DFT calculations. Then, changing the temperature is an approach to getting the most stable structure [84, 85]. After annealing the samples, the nanoarrays discussed above precisely change into close-packed arrays of the 2H₂Pc@H₃TTCA structure (Fig. 4f). The nH₂Pc@H₃TTCA structures give us the insight into dynamic procedures of self-assembly and control molecular pattern formation on the surface [86].

Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and its derivatives (H₄TCPE and H₄ETTC) have great potential in such applications as biological and chemical sensors [87-89] and optoelectronic materials [90-94]. The H₄TCPE molecules formed well-aligned lamellar structures at the HA/HOPG interface, co-assembled with HA via hydrogen bonds (Fig. 5a). Due to the spatial characteristics of the propeller structure, all of the phenyl groups of the H₄TCPE molecule remain perpendicular to the HOPG surface and interact with the substrate via edge-to-face π-πinteraction. While H₄ETTC molecules are observed as bigger X-shaped molecules and self-assemble into quadrilateral structures (Fig. 5c). To further investigate the self-assembly behaviors of H₄TCPE and H₄ETTC, three kinds of pyridine derivatives (DPE, PEBP-C4 and PEBP-C8) are introduced into their self-assembled structures separately. After diluting the solution of DPE, there is non-transformation of the H₄TCPE structure. This can be attributed to the high hydrogen bond density and the lack of spatial chemical structure. H₄ETTC/DPE can co-assemble into two lamellar structures at different proportion of DPE molecules in the system. At a saturated concentration of DPE, H₄ETTC and DPE self-assemble into a closely packed lamellar structure (Fig. 5e). By increasing the content of DPE twice, a loosely packed lamellar structure is constructed (Fig. 5g). DPE molecules assemble into dimers and O-H···O interactions between H₄ETTC molecules are completely broken. DFT results that with the addition of different contents of DPE, the loosely packed structure of H4ETTC/DPE is much more stable than the closely packed structure. With the introduction of PEBP-C4 solution, only a few H₄TCPE and PEBP-C4 can co-assemble (Fig. 5i, marked by red rectangles), The H₄TCPE molecules are arranged in a row and distributed between the PEBP-C4 molecules. H₄ETTC/PEBP-C4 assembled structures are shown in Fig. 5k. In the well-ordered lamellar acid-pyridine-acid-pyridine structures, PEBP-C4 molecules interact with the HA solution molecules through O-H···N hydrogen bonds, and these HA molecules are linked to the H₄ETTC molecule through the O-H···O interaction. Similar to the H₄TCPE assembly to PEBP-C4, only a few co-assembled structures (Fig. 5m, labeled by red rectangles) are co-adsorbed after introducing PEBP-C8. In H₄TCPE/PEBP-C8 system, all of the phenyl groups of H₄TCPE remain perpendicular to the substrate, two of which are linked to the HA and PEBP-C8 molecules by O-H···O and O-H···N hydrogen bonds, respectively. The H₄ETTC network structure is converted to two types of acids-pyridine-acid-pyridine structures by introducing PEBP-C8 solution. These two types of structures are classified by the orientations of PEBP-C8 molecules (Fig. 5o structures '1' and '2'). Since the self-assembly of symmetric TPE molecules could be regulated by pyridine derivatives, spatial symmetry of molecules subserves the fabrication of controllable functional structures well [95].

NNN4A is an azobenzene derivative with four carboxyl acid groups. At the HA/HOPG interface, NN4A can fabricate open Kagome networks [96], which have two types of cavities. The comparatively larger A-type cavity with sixfold symmetry is composed of six benzene rings that have hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic groups. The B-type cavity is formed from three NN4A molecules arranged in a triangular shape (Fig. 6a). The NN4A networks are considered to be a suitable molecular template for fabricating ordered guest molecule arrays. Fullerenes are highly mobile molecules and cannot self-assemble into a well-ordered array at room temperature [97]. Therefore, C₆₀, C₈₀ and Sc₃N@C₈₀ are investigated as guest species whether can be accommodated onto the NN4A networks. The C₆₀-NN4A complex forms two kinds of assembled structures at room temperature (Fig. 6c). C₆₀ molecules can be immobilized in both the A- and B-type cavities. C₆₀ molecules are trapped within the A-type network as shown in Fig. 6d. The distance between the neighboring C₆₀ molecules is similar to that of the NN4A network unit cell, and the space between adjacent C₆₀ molecules is large enough to avoid steric C₆₀-C₆₀ repulsion [98, 99]. C₆₀ molecules are trapped within the B-type network as observed in Fig. 6e, the distance between the adjacent C₆₀ molecules is close enough that the van der Waals interaction plays a role in their stabilization in the B-type cavity [100]. C₈₀ molecules have a larger diameter than C₆₀ molecules. When introducing C₈₀ into the NN4A cavities, C₈₀ molecules only fill the A-type cavities and form well-ordered hexagonal arrays (Fig. 6h). C₈₀molecules start to show site selectivity for the two types of cavities formed by NN4A. To further analyse the inclusion selectivity of the molecular networks, Sc₃N@C₈₀ molecules are introduced. Sc₃N@C₈₀molecules have metal atoms encapsulated within the carbon cage, which can enhance the electronic interaction between Sc₃N@C₈₀ molecules and the template. Sc₃N@C₈₀ guest molecules only occupy A-type cavities (Figs. 6k and l). The structure is essentially the same as that of C₆₀trapped in the A-type cavities but with a higher site selectivity due to the size and geometry of Sc₃N@C₈₀. On the basis of theoretical computations, the energy of a C₈₀ or Sc₃N@ C₈₀ molecule trapped within the A-type cavity is much larger than that trapped within the B-type cavity. Besides, the coincidence of the size and geometry of guest molecules with the A-type cavity plays a considerable role in site selectivity, thus C₈₀/NN4A and Sc₃N@C₈₀/NN4A A-type systems are the favorable structures. The site selection behavior of fullerenes could lead to a better comprehension of template-directed fabrication of functional molecular arrays [101].

StOF-COOH3 is a star-shaped oligofluorene derivative with three carboxylic groups. In the previous reports, StOF-COOH3 can be assembled into a cellular network with porous cavities at the octanoic acid/HOPG interface. StOF-COOH3 molecules connect with each other through hydrogen bonds between carboxylic groups of neighboring StOF-COOH3. The concentration regulation of StOF-COOH3 self-assembly with solvent 1-phenyloctane has been shown in Figs. 7a-c. The StOF-COOH3 molecule achieves a self-assembly transition from a disordered structure to a honeycomb network by decreasing the concentration of StOF in the solution. After heating the honeycomb networks formed by low concentration StOF molecules, the networks will become more regular with full view of well-ordered hexagons (Figs. 7d and e). When introducing guest molecules COR into ordered honeycomb networks, triangle-shaped COR trimers are formed immediately and trapped in the triangular cavities (Fig. 7g). After a thermal annealing process, more COR trimers are formed and accommodated in the honeycomb cavities (Figs. 7h and i). When introducing COR into the disordered StOF structure (high concentration), the structure of COR trimers surrounded by six StOF molecules is observed occasionally (Fig. 7k). Altering the temperature to a higher degree like before, the disordered structure at a high StOF concentration undergoes a structural transformation of the well-ordered ladder structure (Fig. 7l). Four StOF molecules form into a rectangular cavity through hydrogen bond pairs (Fig. 7m). The cavity is completely occupied by alkyl chains of StOF-COOH3 that cannot capsulate any single COR molecule. The StOF-ladder assembly is much more stable than the honeycomb structure via DFT calculations [102].

Rigid disc-shaped molecule H₂TCPp is one of carboxyl-functionalized porphyrin derivatives. It is interesting that the H₂TCPp molecules can form the 2D assemblies and the bulk crystal structures. As shown in Fig. 8a, H₂TCPp molecules assemble into two types of well-ordered monolayers at the HA/HOPG interface. In structure A (Fig. 8b), the H₂TCPp molecules are aligned linearly and closely. In the line, each H₂TCPp molecule forms four pairs of hydrogen bonds through four terminal carboxyl groups to interact with two other molecules. The adjacent lines are connected with each other through van der Waals. This arrangement leads to misalignment of adjacent arrays and lack of order of structure A. While the structure B of H₂TCPp molecules is a loosely well-ordered network with large rhombus-shaped cavities (Figs. 8d and e). Four solvent molecules link to the four carboxyl groups of each H₂TCPp molecule via O-H···O hydrogen bonds, and the HA molecules connected with H₂TCPp interact with one another by van der Waals interaction. Introducing DPE molecules into H₂TCPp self-assembly, the H₂TCPp molecules are formed into parallel rows linked by DPE molecules via O-H···N hydrogen bonding and the HA molecules co-assemble with the other spare carboxyl groups of H₂TCPp molecules (Figs. 8g and h). These HA molecules interact with one another by van der Waals interactions. Compared with structure A, the width between two H₂TCPp rows of structure C is much larger and the rows are with good orderliness. Structure C is advantageous in terms of energy based on DFT calculations. The bulk crystal structures are packed up by two-dimensional monolayers by π-π packing interactions (Fig. 8j), thus the two-dimensional square geometry structure in 3D crystals is investigated for comparison with the 2D arrangements on the HOPG. In structure D, one H₂TCPp molecule is joined to other four molecules via H-bonding to form a square structure (Fig. 8k), which is confirmed to be unstable on the HOPG surface calculated by DFT [103].

4 Photo-isomerization on the HOPG surface

Less

Azobenzene derivatives are a typical photochromic compound that can be reversibly isomerized from trans to cis (or cis to trans) under appropriate irradiation in solution [104]. NN4A is one of azobenzene derivatives and can form Kagome networks as shown in Fig. 9a. DPE molecules have the property of bi-pyridine mediation and photo regulation. Introducing DPE molecules into the NN4A networks, the open assemblies of NN4A are completely transformed from open Kagome networks to well-ordered rectangular networks (Fig. 9b). In the rectangular structure, two adjacent NN4A molecules in one row contact with two DPE molecules via N···H-O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 9d). Irradiating NN4A and DPE at UV light respectively, the DPE assembled structure cannot be obtained, while the Kagome networks of NN4A are broken and linear structures appear since the conversion of isomerismof NN4A (Fig. 9e) [105, 106]. In the liner characteristics, the I-shaped trans-NN4A molecules become V-shaped cis-NN4A molecules, every cis-NN4A molecule is connected with four cis-NN4A molecules (Fig. 9f) and thus forms four pairs of hydrogen bonds. The neighboring molecules are arranged in the opposite direction from each other as distinguished in Fig. 9g. The linear structure can be reversibly converted back into the well-ordered Kagome networks after irradiation by visible light. After illuminating the UV light on the NN4A/DPE rectangular structure, the NN4A/DPE system is assembled into a zigzag structure (domain A) and a linear structure (domain B) (Fig. 9h). Linear assembly is formed by four trans-DPE molecules in the rectangular networks, and they are linked with one cis-NN4A through two pairs of N···H–O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 9j). Applying irradiation by visible light upon the zigzag structure, the rectangular network can be reformed on HOPG surface (Figs. 9k and l). The switching process of photo-isomerization of NN4A/DPE system provides a potential interest in single-molecule switch fabrication by self-assembly. As the assemblies can be reversibly regulated under irradiation with UV light and visible light, the fabrication of single molecule switch by self-assembly under submolecular level shows great potential in the future [107].

5 Conclusion and prospects

Less

In summary, we mainly discuss the molecular templates formed by the interconnection of aromatic carboxylic acids via hydrogen bonds, the host-guest structures which own the suitable spatial lattice of molecular templates for guest molecules, and the co-assembly with other molecules through hydrogen bonding. In these structures, hydrogen bonding plays an irreplaceable role due to its directionality and strength. The recombination of hydrogen bonds can be observed by STM, which occurs by introducing guest molecules, changing the external environment such as light, concentration, temperature, and introducing other molecules that can form hydrogen bonds.

The aromatic carboxylic acid interaction has both hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces and π-π stacking, which is favorable for the formation of stable supramolecular structures. The carboxyl group in the aromatic carboxylic acid has a strong coordination ability and a flexible coordination mode, very advantageous for the design and construction of the molecular grid according to specific needs, thereby making it easier to design and control the structure and performance of the self-assembly. In addition, there are conjugated systems in aromatic carboxylic acids that facilitate electron transport, with potential functions in terms of light, electricity, and magnetism. Therefore, the self-assembly and regulation of aromatic carboxylic acids are of great significance and prospect.
