Abstract Molecular self-assembly at surfaces offers an efficient route to construct well-ordered 2-D nanostructures. Using crescent-shaped bis(triazolo)benzene as a key structural component, we have designed and prepared π-conjugated open-chain molecules. A last-stage C-C cross-coupling of these zig-zag shaped precursors cleanly produced shape-persistent macrocycles. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) analysis on these molecules revealed the formation of highly-ordered 2-D structures at liquid-solid interfaces. Depending on the conformational flexibility of the molecular backbone and the chemical structure of the peripheral groups, different types of 2-D lattices were observed. Intriguingly, we found that perturbation by the STM tip or the addition of co-solutes profoundly impacted the kinetics of self-assembly and surface patterning. These results highlight the importance of non-covalent interactions in the synthesis and assembly of shape-adaptive vs shape-persistent molecules.
