Division/Committee: [COLL] Division of Colloid & Surface Chemistry

Molecular ordering at interfaces provides a powerful framework for generating precise structure beyond the molecular scale. Supramolecular interfacial structures support diverse functions ranging from catalysis to molecular electronics to scaffolding cells for regenerative medicine. This symposium features experimental and theoretical approaches to achieve and understand a broad range of design motifs and applications. This will include interfacial molecular structures at varying levels of complexity, ranging from ordered single-component monolayers to multicomponent supramolecular systems and complex substrates and interfaces. Significant elements of the symposium will examine emergent surface chemistry and function, leveraging the placement of multimolecular entities to control adsorption, reaction kinetics, reaction selectivity, and interactions with microscale objects including inorganic nanostructures and cells.
