The effects of carbon chain length on nano-crystal structure

We have applied 3,6-Bis[\textit{trans}-Pt(Pet$_{3})$ $_{2}$Br]-9,10-bis(didecyloxy)phenanthrene self assembling nanocrystals to various surfaces using Langmuir- Blodgett technique. The long range order of the nanocrystals was then imaged using the atomic force microscope. We observed the formation of lines and mono-layers of the nanocrystals.
