In this article, our recent approaches for preparation of supramolecular materials including molecular array and pattern formation are summarized, as classified by four categories: (i) molecule to nano; (ii) nano to micro; (iii) micro to bulk; (iv) bridging molecule and bulk. Self-assembled processes on a surface provides molecular arrays that can be tuned by several factors. such as conformational changes and hydrogen bonding. Microscopic structures can be obtained through self-assembly of molecules designed upon a novel concept of amphiphilicity. Combining self-assembly with layer-by-layer adsorption methods resulted in functional layered micro-structures. By structural transcription from self-assembled structure, bulk materials with precise interior structures such as carbon nanocage can be obtained. The air-water interface provides medium to manipulate functional molecules by bulk Visible-scale mechanical motions.
