This Feature article, by Jurriaan Huskens, Aldrik Velders and co-workers gives an overview of the recent literature regarding lateral molecular interactions in monolayers, covering fundamental science to applications, with a focus on systems with additional electron or energy transfer.
The authors, from the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Twente in the Netherlands present the literature in three sections covering self-assembled monolayers on metal surfaces, monolayers on silicon and metal oxide surfaces and finally, lateral interactions on receptor surfaces.
