Abstract

heating directly reveal that anisotropic steric confinement and cooperative inter-ribbon displacement within the pre-organized assembly play a key role in directing this selectivity. Control experiments using pseudo-high dilution conditions suppress dimer formation, highlighting the decisive influence of molecular templating. This study offers mechanistic insight into how temperature-stable supramolecular organization can regulate reaction selectivity in multi-functional molecules on surfaces.
