Abstract
Methods and compositions involving two-dimensional ordering of organic polar solvent soluble organic macromolecules. Lipid monolayer forming molecules are bound covalently or non-covalently to organic macromolecules soluble in polar solvents, whereby the macromolecules are allowed to become oriented in two-dimensions to form an ordered, low free energy, including crystalline, layer of macromolecules. The macromolecules may then be further combined with other moieties to create additional layers, to be cross-linked or otherwise modified, and/or separated from the lipid monolayer. The resulting ordered layers can be used for a variety of purposes, in crystallographic techniques for structure determination and structural relationship determinations, in optics, as polymers, films, and the like.
