Control of Fullerene Crystallization from 2D to 3D through Combined Solvent and Template Effects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Achieving precise control of molecular self-assembly to form designed three-dimensional (3D) structures is a major goal in nanoscale science and technology. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy and density functional theory calculations, we show that a 2D covalent organic framework (COF-1) can template solution-processed C 60 guest molecules to form several solvent-dependent structural arrangements and morphologies via a 2D to 3D growth process. When 1,2,4-tricholorobenzene is used as solvent, C 60 molecules form a template-defined close-packed structure. When heptanoic acid is used as solvent, a range of lower density architectures that deviate from the template-defined close packing are observed. We attribute this difference to the co-adsorption of the heptanoic acid solvent molecules, which is only achieved in the presence of the template. This work demonstrates the possibility to precisely control 3D molecular self-assembly through the synergistic combination of template and solvent effects.

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.
