Artist's Representation of Geometrically Frustrated Molecules (IMAGE)
Caption
The molecules are aligned head-to-head (yellow portions) with their tails pointing in opposite directions (gray portions) so the molecules form a vertical line. The different tail lengths prevent additional layers of molecules from stacking on top. Thin film transistors made of single molecular bilayers will have better device performance than films that are irregular or greater thickness.
