The unique ability of carbon atoms to participate in robust covalent bonds with other carbon
atoms in diverse hybridization states (sp, sp 2, sp 3) or with nonmetallic elements enables …

One of the most important objectives in materials, chemical, and physical sciences is the
creation of large conjugated macrocycles with well‐defined shapes, since such molecules …

In light of the considerable impact synthetic 2D polymers are expected to have on many
fundamental and applied aspects of the natural and engineering sciences, it is surprising …

The invention of the scanning tunneling microscope has led to the visualization of molecules
in real space on atomically flat conductive substrates. This has boosted research into …

This report describes the synthetic strategies toward and optoelectronic properties of
substructures of the non-natural, planar carbon networks graphyne and graphdiyne, which …

This tutorial review addresses the formation and properties of surface-confined molecular
networks as revealed with scanning probe microscopy tools, especially scanning tunneling …

This critical review focuses on recent progress in the field of T-shaped ternary amphiphiles.
These molecules can self-assemble into a series of new liquid crystalline (LC) phases with …

On-surface self-condensation of 1, 4-benzenediboronic acid was previously shown to yield
extended surface-supported, long-range-ordered two-dimensional covalent organic …

Self-assembly of nanometer-sized building blocks at surfaces and interfaces is of increasing
interest for nanotechnology research.[1, 2] Recently surface-confined two-dimensional (2D) …

We present a variable-temperature study of monolayer self-assembly at the liquid− solid
interface. By means of in situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), reversible phase …
