Abstract
Organizing molecular thin films of electro- and photoactive building blocks provides a versatile platform to the nanoscale control of assembled multilayers and paves the way for the design of functional electronic devices and/or efficient photoenergy conversion devices. Assembly methods, including the Langmuir–Blodgett and the layer-by-layer technique, offer elegant means to realize well-ordered multifunctional thin films on variable surfaces. In this chapter, the fundamental factors and driving forces that govern the adsorption processes of multilayered assemblies are highlighted and numerous intriguing contributions to the field of template-assisted assemblies are presented. Owing to the applicability of these concepts to carbon-based materials – fullerenes and carbon nanotubes – particular attention is paid to the integration of these exceptionally materials combined with light absorbing constituents into nanostructured thin films en route towards versatile electron donor–acceptor nanohybrids for photoconversion schemes.
