54. We added perfluoromethyldecalin to the perfluorodecalin. The two liquids had similar densities, boiling points, and surface tensions; thus, we continued to label the mixture of solvent perfluorodecalin because PFD was the major component.

57. Other opportunities exist to tailor the forces and potential functions at the liquid/liquid interface; we will describe these opportunities in future papers.
58. 1. The 23 pairs self-assembled through the interaction on the [1] faces. We observed the hexagons for 1.5 h and counted the number of dimers that dissociated. The dissociated hexagons readily reassembled into dimers, usually within 5 min after the dimer had fallen apart. The process was repeated twice. In the 4.5 h of observing the dimers, 21 pairs of hexagons dissociated.
59. There were several sources for the air bubbles, including the air trapped along the sides of the dish and air bubbles brought to the interface with the hexagons.
60. The motion of the hexagons at the interface was chiral. We did not exploit this chirality, but it is important to note for other systems.
61. -1) the interface became turbid. Bubbles of PFD formed at the interface; these bubbles disrupted the capillary interactions between the PDMS hexagons.

63. 1:2:1] faces; these effects partially off-set each other and result in little tendency for these faces to be pulled into the plane of the interface.
64. There was a limit to the size of the array that could be formed at any given level of agitation due to the shear forces across the aggregate caused by the circular agitation. The shear forces were strongest on the hexagons at the outer edge of the array, and high rates of agitation separated these hexagons from the array.
