Abstract
We demonstrate a surprising cooperative adsorption process at the liquid-solid interface, involving self-assembly in which a three-fold hydrogen-bonding unit (trimesic acid, TMA) is forced into a linear pattern by noncovalent interaction with an alcohol. Our work shows that the unexpected linear pattern formed by coadsorption of TMA and alcohols can be modulated in size by choosing alcohols with different chain lengths.
