When employing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for tuning surface- and interface-properties, a strong binding to the substrate, structural uniformity, and the ability to align functional groups and to control their density are desirable. To achieve these goals, tripod systems bearing multiple bonding sites have been developed as an alternative to conventional monodentate systems. A bonding of all three sites has, however, hardly been achieved with the consequence that structural uniformity and orientational order in tripodal SAMs are usually quite poor. To resolve that problem, we designed a series of triptycene-based molecules decorated with three anchoring groups, which can be assembled on different substrates. Depending on the character of the anchoring groups, well-defined tripodal SAMs could be prepared on Au(111), Ag(111), and indium tin oxide. Either unsubstituted or differently substituted triptycene-based molecules were assembled in context of different issues, viz. (i) homogeneous tripodal assembly, (ii) polymorphism and hidden chirality, (iii) on-surface click chemistry, (iv) multiple pathways in charge transfer, and (v) nanofabrication.
