Reaction Steps

The employed network molecule is derived from tristyrylbenzene, i.e. (1,3,5-tris[(E)-2-(3,5-didodecyloxyphenyl)-ethenyl]benzene). (TSB35), it has also been provided with (1,3,5-tris[(E)3,5-didodecyloxyphenyl)-ethenyl]benzene) (OC12H25 lateral arm). The latter has been solubilised in a solvent (phenyl-octane or tetradecane) at approximately 10−4 mol/L concentration. A drop of the solution has been then deposited on the freshly dived sample. The 2-D sieve thus obtained has been characterized using an STM microscope, operating directly in the liquid, whereof the tip is immersed in the drop.
