Nanopatterning of multifunctional architectures, that is, 1D or 2D arrays on surfaces, can be achieved through bottom-up fabrication of 1D coordination networks by self-assembly processes. A coordinating tecton bearing both monodentate and tridentate coordination poles is combined with suitable metal centers (see scanning tunneling microscopy image).
