Abstract

Abstract Ionic self‐assembly (ISA) is a proven method that exploits non‐covalent interactions to generate supramolecular materials. Here, we have expanded the scope of this approach fabricating thin films with nanoscopic order maintained over centimeters. Cationic layers of benzalkonium surfactants form a lamellar template. The template is able to host layers of negatively charged polyaromatic functional units, here demonstrated with β‐naphthol‐derived azo‐dyes. We show that a variety of these functional building blocks can be incorporated in the lamellar template through ISA. Sixteen different materials were produced, characterized, and processed into thin films, with lamellar order perpendicular to the substrate. Thus, a design concept is demonstrated in which diverse functional motifs can be isolated and ordered in a 2D lattice between layers of alkyl chains in bulk and in thin films, in which the molecular order is maintained and aligned to the substrate.

51. Polarized optical microscopy is not readily applied to these thin film as the interlayer order of the dyes may change effectively scrambling domain boundaries and resulting in featureless POM images. Furthermore preliminary data indicate that some systems do not form multidomain films that are expected for 2D powders but rather have macroscopic domains. We are currently working with polarized spectroscopy to elucidate this.
