| Stacked disk shaped aromatics that are surrounded by alkyl groups are the prototype of self-assembled, molecular scale wiring. Our efforts are in creating discotic liquid crystals that are held together by a combination of hydrogen bonds and ?-stacking. This paper describes the first studies on a new class of crowded aromatics covalently attached to a gold surface. Studies including the self-assembly on various surfaces, electro-optic switching on ITO coated glass plates, and the detection of molecules through fluorescence. The fluorescent studies indicate that the self-assembled monolayer can discriminate and recognize molecules that display a complimentary binding structure. |
