Herein, we demonstrated a strategy to regulate the conductive metal–organic framework
(MOF) surface, by the conjugated molecule wires for selective and sensitive determination of …

Single-molecule topological insulators are promising candidates as conducting wires over
nanometre length scales. A key advantage is their ability to exhibit quasi-metallic transport …

Plasmon resonances in metal nanostructures have been extensively harnessed for light
trap** in mesoporous solar cells (MSCs), including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) …

Understanding how molecules interact to form large-scale hierarchical structures on
surfaces holds promise for building designer nanoscale constructs with defined chemical …

On-surface synthesis is the bottom-up construction of covalent bonds between molecular
building blocks, which has been greatly developed during the past decade. Dozens of …

Surface-assisted Ullmann coupling is the workhorse of on-surfaces synthesis. Among the
various couplings that were successfully transferred from solution to solid surfaces, Ullmann …

We extensively characterize the electronic structure of ultranarrow graphene nanoribbons
(GNRs) with armchair edges and zigzag termini that have five carbon atoms across their …
