Nanofilms: Biphasic Supramolecular Self-Assembly of Ferric Ions and Tannic Acid across Interfaces for Nanofilm Formation (Adv. Mater. 28/2017)

Nanofilm formation of supramolecular ferric ion (Fe^III)-tannic acid (TA) complexes across interfaces is reported by Insung S. Choi and co-workers in article number 1700784. Fe^III (red sphere) in one phase makes a contact with TA (blue drop) in the other phase and rapidly forms the Fe^III-TA film (violet layer) at the interface of the two immiscible phases.
