Control of molecular ordering in guanidinium-functionalized monolayer by carboxylate template molecules

Abstract

Electron diffraction studies of a [(dioctadecyl)carbamoylmethyl]guanidinium toluene-p-sulfonate (DG) monolayer reveal that the regularity of the molecular arrangement and the size of crystalline domains are controlled through binding of aqueous α,ω-dicarboxylates with various spacer lengths.
