Abstract:
Nanostructured monolayers of water-insoluble amphiphilic 5-alkoxy-isophthalic acids direct the reversible self-assembly of water-soluble positively and negatively charged molecules under electrochemical control. The surface potential is in control of the monolayer composition, structure, and guest dynamics.
