Templated assembly of a monolayer consisting of a coordination nanobox at air-water interface
The monolayer formation consisting of an amphiphilic terpyridine ligand and a biphenyl template on aqueous solution of a palladium complex was examined with varying the mixing ratios. Templated self-assembly resulted into a stable monolayer of a box-shaped host-guest complex at air-water interface.
