Self-assembly of DATP and TPCA molecules. a AFM overview image. Fuzzy sides of DATP type I molecules are indicated by red arrows. DATP type II structures are indicated by orange arrows. In total six orientations of DATP type II molecules exist, which are rotated by −21° and 21° with regard to the [11−2], [1−21], and [−211] directions (see also Supplementary Fig. 2). b AFM zoom-in image of a self-assembled DATP/TPCA cluster. Zoom area is indicated in a by red dashed box. The TPCA is non-covalently bonded to the fuzzy side of the DATP molecule (see Supplementary Fig. 11). Molecular models are added to the respective molecules. The yellow, light blue, blue and red dots represent C, H, N and O, respectively. Scale bars: a 5 nm, b 1 nm
