Phase separation and selective guest–host binding in multi-component supramolecular self-assembly on Au(111)†
Abstract
Bi-component supramolecular self-assembly of trimesic acid and benzenetribenzoic acid on Au(111) results in phase-separated mono-component porous structures. The pores of the two structures exhibit high selectivity in the binding of coronene molecules.
