Supramolecular Ordering in Oligothiophene−Fullerene Monolayers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of monolayers comprising oligothiophene and fullerene molecular semiconductors reveals details of their molecular-scale phase separation and ordering with potential implications for the design of organic electronic devices, in particular future bulk heterojunction solar cells. Prochiral terthienobenzenetricarboxylic acid (TTBTA) self-assembles at the solution/graphite interface into either a porous chicken wire network linked by dimeric hydrogen bonding associations of COOH groups (R(2)(2) (8)) or a close-packed network linked in a novel hexameric hydrogen bonding motif (R(6)(6) (24)). Analysis of high-resolution STM images shows that the chicken wire phase is racemically mixed, whereas the close-packed phase is enantiomerically pure. The cavities of the chicken wire structure can efficiently host C60 molecules, which form ordered domains with either one, two, or three fullerenes per cavity. The observed monodisperse filling and long-range co-alignment of fullerenes is described in terms of a combination of an electrostatic effect and the commensurability between the graphite and molecular network, which leads to differentiation of otherwise identical adsorption sites in the pores.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
