Our research on porous molecular networks formed by self-assemblyof alkoxy-substituted dehydro[12]annulenes (DBAs) at the liquid/solid interface has been evolving thanks to the high level of adaptability of this building block. DBAs are adaptable not only to (i) modification of the pore size, (ii) pore functionalization for selective binding of guest molecules, and (iii) installation of reaction sites for covalent bonds between themselves leading to 2D polymers and with the substrate as well, but also for (iv) generation of chirality on surfaces at single molecular as well as supramolecular levels and (v) formation of superlattice structures on surfaces. In this presentation will be focused adaptable featues of the molecular building block.
