Abstract
Molecular self-organization, a universal driving force in Nature, represents an efficient way to combine, position, and orient molecular components in a well-defined supramolecular architecture through weak non-covalent interactions. In the progression of structural hierarchy from the atom to the molecule, the supermolecule, and the supramolecular module (SUMO), characteristic functions emerge that do not exist at lower levels. SUMOs evolve spontaneously from suitably instructed components through a sequence of recognition, growth, and termination steps [1]. Intriguing examples of SUMOs have been reported, exploiting ligand-metal ion coordination [2], π-π interactions [3], or hydrogen-bonding [4]. The modularity of self-assembly provides access to a wide range of structures and functions and permits control thereof from molecular to macroscopic length scales. The ability of SUMOs to accomplish intricate functions provides opportunities that go far beyond current micro-fabrication technology [5]. Applications of such systems are intriguingly diverse, including information storage, signal transduction and amplification, as well as host-guest recognition [6].

The molecular surface area of a single DODA cation as determined from the lamellar arrangement of DODA cations in the single crystal structure of the compound DODA • Br (monohydrate), CSD entry code CIYWOW20, is 56.7 Å2.

Chem. Soc. Jpn. 61, 1485–1490. Empirical values for the molecular surface area of a single DODA cation have been frequently determined from the Langmuir isotherms. The reported values range from 60-100 Å2/ DODA molecule, depending on the chemical nature of counter anions within the aqueous subphase. See: (a) Marra, J.
