  • Modeling of molecular self-organization on surfaces.

    • Main Results:

    • Binding polynomials effectively quantify the 'glue' amounts in molecularly decorated surfaces.
    • The 'glues' (binding constants and cooperativity factors) are intrinsic to the molecular tiles.
    • The method allows for prediction of molecular self-organization patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Binding polynomials offer a novel approach to understanding and controlling molecular assembly on surfaces.
    • This framework can guide the design of materials for organic (opto-)electronics.
    • The intrinsic nature of molecular 'glues' simplifies the process of creating ordered molecular surfaces.
