Non-covalent interactions in supramolecular assemblies investigated with electron spectroscopies

Chemphyschem. 2009 Apr 14;10(6):896-900. doi: 10.1002/cphc.200800828.

Abstract

A new view: A picture of the different non-covalent interactions relevant for the self-assembly of organic layers and their spectroscopic fingerprints is provided (see figure). In particular, state-of-the-art spectroscopic measurements are performed for supramolecular assemblies, comparing the electronic structure of single-component layers with that of binary organic layers.
