16. About Thiophene 16 Cyclic π-conjugated cyclothiophene self-assembles at the solid-liquid interface to form well-ordered 2D molecular network. C[12]T : cyclo[12]thiophene fullerenes C[12]T The formation of 1:1 donor–acceptor (D–A) complex p-type (donor) monolayer n-type (acceptor) material charge transfer interaction

17. Complexation of C[12]T-C 60 17 ・ An isolated C 60 molecule (white arrow) adsorbed at the liquid/monolayer interface. ・ The electron-accepting C 60 formed a stable 1:1 D–A complex with cyclothiophene. ・ From Semiempirical calculations, the most stable complexation site is at the rim of the macrocycle Providing maximal π–π interaction.

18. Complexation of C[12]T-C 60 ・ Four individual C 60 fullerenes, labeled “C” (cavity) or “R” (rim), are adsorbed on top of a C[12]T monolayer. ・ A R-type fullerene is imaged brighter, the three C-type fullerenes can be observed as rather diffuse spots. 18

19. Complexation of C[12]T-C 60 During scanning, the C-type fullerenes were desorbed There are two types of fullerenes (R diameter ∼ 1 nm versus C diameter ∼ 1.6 nm) The C-type is not immobilized, but rather rotates around an axis perpendicular to the substrate. 19 a complexation site on top of the conjugated “rim”is stable position

20. Complexation of C[12]T-C 60 20 Complexes with more than one fullerene per macrocycle were never seen The fullerenes interact with the cyclothiophenes at the same position and form perfectly ordered domains. The C[12]T monolayer acts as a veritable template The complexation ratio is exclusively 1:1.

21. The 1:1 D–A complex 21 ・ The electron density of macrocycle’s HOMO is drastically shifted by the complexation of C 60. ・ It becomes unfavorable when C 60 occupy the electron-deficient part of the C[12]T macrocycle. The macrocycle can form complex with fullerenes.

22. Scanning tunneling Spectroscopy (STS) 22 STS provides a useful tool in the study of the electrical properties of molecular monolayer. On the sample, it can detect the tunneling current by changing of the bias voltages, which probe the local density of electronic states (LDOS) and the band gap of surfaces and materials on surfaces at the atomic scale. The I(V) and dI/dV data refrect the conductivity of organic molecules may be changed in a variety of ways. dI/dV ∝ LDOS

23. The electrical properties of C[12]T 23 The asymmetric I–V curve was observed. The asymmetry is clearly seen in the differential curve (dI/dV–V) The frontier orbitals of the system were localized at -0.7 and 0.95 V, below and above the Fermi level, respectively. C[12]T C[12]T–C 60 complex C[12]T The general p-doping character of electron-rich thiophene compounds. HOMO–LUMO gap is 1.65 V. Relate to the local density of states (LDOS) of the molecule.

24. The electrical properties of C[12]T–C 60 complex 24 The shape of the I–V curve at positive bias is very similar to the non-complexed macrocycle. However at negative bias the current behavior is quite different. From the differential (dI/dV–V) curve, a bigger gap between the frontier orbitals (1.85 V) T he shift of the HOMO to higher voltages (–0.9 V) C[12]T C[12]T–C 60 complex The saturation of the current at negative bias is a special spectroscopic characteristic of the D–A complex. The typical exponential behavior of the tunneling current in semiconductors is blocked starting at a value of –1.06 V. C[12]T–C 60 complex

25. Summary self-assembled and highly ordered monolayers of macrocyclic thiophenes C[12]T can be used as template to epitaxially grow 3D nanoarchitectures with C60-fullerenes. Submolecularly resolved STM images allow the investigation of unique 1:1 complexes comprising a ring- shaped p-type and a spherical n-type semiconductor. The dynamics of C60 adsorption and the complexation site on the macrocycle have been analyzed by STM The electronic properties of the complexes have been elucidated by means of STS showing interesting saturation behavior in the I–V curves. 25
