The presence of dipolar layers determines the functionality of most technologically relevant
interfaces. The present contribution reviews how periodic dipole assemblies modify the …

In the last years, the interest in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and other crystalline
coordination networks (CCNs) expanded from their extraordinarily high porosity to other …

Organic surfaces play a major role in materials science. Most surfaces that we touch in our
daily lives are made from organic materials, eg, vegetables, fruit, skin, wood, and textiles …

Applications of functional self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) rely to a large extent on their
stability, with the thermal stability being of particular importance. In this context, thermal …

The modification of electrode surfaces by depositing self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs)
provides the possibility for controlled adjustment of various key parameters in organic and …

In this topical review we describe the fabrication, characterization and applications of 1nm
thick, mechanically stable carbon nanomembranes (CNMs). They represent a new type of …

This article reviews recent progress in the characterization of self-assembled monolayers
(SAMs) with a chalcogen headgroup by synchrotron-based high-resolution X-ray …

The past decades have witnessed great advances in controllable synthesis, structure
determination, and property investigation of metal nanoclusters. Selenolated nanoclusters, a …

The molecular electronic devices based on self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on metal
surfaces demonstrate novel electronic functions for device minimization yet are unable to …

The alignment of the frontier orbital energies of an adsorbed molecule with the substrate
Fermi level at metal-organic interfaces is a fundamental observable of significant practical …
