We describe recent progress in our laboratories to build robust complex two- and three-dimensional molecular constructs. This work has important applications in photovoltaics, molecular and organic electronics, sensing, photonics and other technologies. Several recent developments are discussed including the chemical bath deposition of PbS, the UV photoassisted chemical vapor deposition of Al, and the formation of Ni and Cu nanowires on micron-scale patterned surfaces. Optimization and further development of these techniques requires a detailed understanding of the reaction pathways involved in the interaction of organic thin films with metals, organometallic compounds, ions, and other compounds.
