The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

This review covers the surface chemistry of porphyrins, phthalocyanines, their metal
complexes, and related compounds, with particular focus on chemical reactions at …

The widespread use of controlled molecular‐level motion in key natural processes suggests
that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of …

Using scanning probe microscopy techniques, at low temperatures and in ultrahigh vacuum,
individual molecules adsorbed on surfaces can be probed with ultrahigh resolution to …

Using atomic manipulation, one can dissociate, form and rearrange bonds, as well as alter
