1. INTRODUCTION The design of organically modified surfaces is a rapidly expanding field
of research in materials science in which the central purpose is access to materials …

An underlying principle of molecule-based conductors is that cooperative properties depend
on intermolecular interactions and, therefore, the arrangement of molecules in condensed …

The development, characterization, and technological exploitation of new materials,
particularly as components in 'smart'systems, are key challenges for chemistry and physics …

Organic− inorganic hybrid films present special challenges and opportunities with respect to
potential applications, as well as for the observation of interesting physical phenomena …

Functionalized organic monolayers are excellent candidates for the preparation of templates
with selectable surface chemical properties. A versatile self‐assembly approach is reported …

Metal phosphonate chemistry has witnessed a rapid development during the past two
decades. Numerous compounds have been synthesized which show new architectures and …

Octahedral M [N (CN) 2] 2 (M= Cr, Mn) have been prepared and exhibit a spontaneous
magnetization below ordering temperatures of 47 and 16 K, respectively, due to a transition …

Abstract Magnetic Langmuir–Blodgett films containing well‐organized monolayers of single‐
molecule magnets are reported. The single‐molecule magnets in question are high‐spin …

The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties of nanocrystals (NCs) allow
manipulation of optical responses by controlling their morphology, free carrier density, and …

A self assembled monolayer (SAM) of sodium oleate was generated on mild steel by the dip
coating method. Formation of the SAM on mild steel was examined using Infrared Reflection …
