Two tripod-shaped adamantane derivatives carrying a pyrene chromophore and three carboxylic acid binding groups, and varying in footprint size (∼ 0.7 and 2.7 nm2), were synthesized as models to study how the footprint size can influence the aggregation of organic dyes bound to ZrO2 thin films. Synthetic approaches and binding properties of large footprint tripodal linkers are discussed.
