DESCRIPTION:Non-covalent directional intermolecular interactions provide a
  pre-determined recognition pathway which has been widely exploited in sup
 ramolecular chemistry to form functional nanostructures in both solution a
 nd in the solid-state. Our studies using hydrogen-bonding interactions to 
 enable the directed assembly of extended nanostructures will be presented 
 and in particular the lecture will focus on our work investigating surface
 -based self-assembly processes.\n\nThe talk will include studies that demo
 nstrate unprecedented control of supramolecular topology (Fig. i)2 the fir
 st direct observation of a molecular-scale glass (Fig. ii)3 and the genera
 tion of a new class of porphyrin molecular tiles that are functionalised w
 ith DNA bases. Most importantly our work establishes a direct connection b
 etween supramolecular chemistry and nanostructure fabrication.\n
