Porphyrin derivatives are ubiquitous in bio-organisms and are associated with proteins that
play important biological roles, such as oxygen transport, photosynthesis, and catalysis …

Porphyrins and other tetrapyrrole macrocycles possess an impressive variety of functional
properties that have been exploited in natural and artificial systems. Different metal centres …

Metal–organic coordination structures are materials comprising reticular metal centers and
organic linkers in which the two constituents bind with each other via metal–ligand …

Since the first synthesis of cryptands and cavitands, molecular cages defined as hollow
structures enclosing a three-dimensional cavity have experienced a large development in …

The development of a variety of nanoscale applications, requires the fabrication and control
of atomic,, or molecular switches, that can be reversibly operated by light, a short-range …

Surface-assisted covalent synthesis currently evolves into an important approach for the
fabrication of functional nanostructures at interfaces. Here, we employ scanning tunneling …

The templated synthesis of porphyrin dimers, oligomers, and tapes has recently attracted
considerable interest. Here, we introduce a clean, temperature-induced covalent …

On-surface polymerization represents a novel bottom-up approach for producing
macromolecular structures. To date, however, most of the structures formed using this …
