Binary self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) combining a Y-shaped aromatic carboxylic acid (CA), 1,3,5-benzenetribenzoic acid (H3BTB), and a cage-type alicyclic CA, adamantane CA (AdCA), were prepared by molecular adsorption from solution on Au substrates modified by underpotential deposition of Ag. These SAMs exhibit a pronounced dependence of their structure on the assembly protocol. Exposing an AdCA SAM to H3BTB results in the disordered arrangements. In contrast, exposing an H3BTB SAM to AdCA doesn't seemingly affect the highly regular row structure of the native H3BTB layer, with no signs (STM) of AdCA adsorption. However, spectroscopic analysis reveals its presence, suggesting that the AdCA molecules are hidden in the nanotunnels of the H3BTB monolayer. Additional evidence for this hypothesis is provided by appearance of densely packed and highly ordered AdCA monolayer upon local removal of H3BTB. Formation of such a compact layer is explained by expulsion of AdCA from the H3BTB nanotunnels of the surrounding intact mixed SAM, driven by release of stress in the nanotunnels built up when AdCA is intercalated.
