Individual polyphenylene dendrimer 1 and their self-assembled nanostructures, prepared by spin-coating and solvent casting on various substrates such as mica, silanized mica, and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), have been investigated by noncontact atomic force microscopy. Besides globular...
