Thus, we designed and synthesized new molecular architectures based on the 3D Janus tecton concept, suitable for self - assembly on surface
by supramolecular interactions such as coordination, halogen bond or hydrogen bond.3 Here we present two different model pyridyl end - capped molecules: the pedestal P1, and the naked pillar NP pedestal incorporating a cyclophane core.

P1 behavior was first investigated
by STM at the liquid / solid interface: as an exemple, an arrangement of the molecules on HOPG presenting a quasi-square lattice (a = 2.1 nm, b = 2.2 nm, α = 94 °) self - assembled
by hydrogen bonds between the pyridine unit and the methyl groups borne
by the p - xylene core will be described, indicating strong intermolecular interactions between the molecules P1 leading to a
supramolecular self - assembly independent of the underlying HOPG structure.

supramolecular assembly — a supermolecule — is an explicitly designed complex of molecules held together
by noncovalent bonds — bonds that do not involve sharing electrons.
The innovative aspect of this activity was the notion that the concept of macroscopic devices could be extended to the molecular level, and that it was possible to design
supramolecular systems that, upon stimulation with external energy stimuli such as UV / Visible light, are capable of performing a variety of specific functions: (i) systems for information processing (e.g., wires, switches, antennas, plug / socket systems, extension cables, memories, logic gates, encoder / decoder, rudimentary neuron - like systems), (ii) devices that when powered
by chemical energy or electrochemical energy or
by light exhibit machine - like behavior (e.g., piston / cylinder systems, shuttles, lifts, rotary rings, dendritic photo - switchable boxes), and (iii) components for artificial photosynthetic systems.
