Freebase- and metallated-tetrapyridylporphyrins self-organize through multiple hydrogen bonding to carboxylic acid terminated self-assembled monolayers on gold surfaces, thereby producing surfaces with two additional functional sites, the porphyrin cavity and the terminal pyridyl groups.

[32] Nano-Size Stripes of Self-Assembled Bolaform Amphiphiles

S. Gao, B. Zou, L. F. Chi, H. Fuchs, J. Q. Sun, X. Zhang and J. C. Shen

J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. Iss 14 (2000), 1273-1274

Self-assembled nano-sized stripes are obtained spontaneously by electrostatic adsorption of bolaform amphiphiles onto mica sheets. The ordered stripes are separated from each other by about 10 nm, and the ordered region can extend over macroscopic areas.

[33] Fabrication of Hollow Zeolite Spheres

X. D. Wang, W. L. Yang, Y. Tang, Y. J. Wang, S. K. Fu and Z. Gao

J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. Iss 21 (2000), 2161-2162

Hollow spheres of zeolite have been fabricated through a layer- by-layer technique using polystyrene spheres as templates and nanozeolites as 'building blocks', followed by calcination.
