Molecular interactions direct local packing within 2D assemblies. In favorable cases, interaction selectivity drives assembly of crystalline monolayers exhibiting long range order. We have realized designed self-assembly of compositionally patterned, multicomponent monolayers exhibiting long range order using selectivity derived primarily from molecular shape (van der Waals) and in combination with dipolar interactions. Post-assembly chemical transformation is one strategy for using compositionally patterned monolayers to direct further nanoscale assembly. This presentation will describe efforts to utilize patterned multicomponent monolayers to self-assemble patterned arrays of reactive functional groups and to perform post-assembly, spatially controlled reactions at the monolayer-solution interface.  <br/>
