Halogen bonds, which provide an intermolecular interaction with moderate strength and
high directionality, have emerged as a promising tool in the repertoire of non‐covalent …

Conspectus The arrangement of molecular species into extended structures remains the
focus of much current chemical science. The organization of molecules on surfaces using …

Halogens are among the most electronegative elements, and the variations in size and
polarizability of halogens require different descriptions of the intermolecular bonds they …

Molecular Sierpiński triangles (STs), a family of elegant and well-known fractals, can be
prepared on surfaces with atomic precision. Up to date, several kinds of intermolecular …

Halogen bonding has attracted much attention recently as an important driving force for
supramolecular assembly and crystal engineering. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time …

Weak interactions between bromine, sulphur, and hydrogen are shown to stabilize 2D
supramolecular monolayers at the liquid–solid interface. Three different thiophene-based …

Intermolecular halogen bonds are ideally suited for designing new molecular assemblies
because of their strong directionality and the possibility of tuning the interactions by using …

Self-assembly of two-dimensional supramolecular arrays on surfaces represents a
significant challenge to chemists, materials scientists and physicists. This article highlights …

We report the formation of highly-ordered self-assembled monolayers of an achiral organic
semiconductor molecule. STM results show spontaneous formation of very large single …

Recently, halogen··· halogen interactions have been demonstrated to stabilize two-
dimensional supramolecular assemblies at the liquid–solid interface. Here we study the …
