Complex Interplay and Hierarchy of Interactions in Two-Dimensional Supramolecular Assemblies

In order to address the interplay of hydrogen bonding, dipolar interactions, and metal coordination, we have investigated the two-dimensional mono- and bicomponent self-assembly of three closely related diaminotriazine-based molecular building blocks and a ...

Stabilization of bimolecular islands on ultrathin NaCl films by a vicinal substrate

Harald Brune, Marta Canas Ventura

The structure of ultrathin NaCl films on Au(1 1 1) and on Au(11 12 12), as well as the one of bimolecular 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) and 1,4-bis-(2,4-diamino-1,3,5,-triazine)-benzene (BDATB) islands on NaCl films on both surfaces have ...

Strain-relief pattern as guide for the formation of surface-supported bimolecular nanoribbons

Martin Peter Bieri, Marta Canas Ventura

We demonstrate the suitability of the Ag/Pt(111) strain-relief pattern as efficient template for controlling the formation of well defined heteromolecular nanostructures. Two different species of molecular building blocks with complementary end-group funct ...

Does the Surface Matter? Hydrogen-Bonded Chain Formation of an Oxalic Amide Derivative in a Two- and Three-Dimensional Environment

Klaus Kern, Harald Brune, Uta Schlickum, Sylvain Clair, Marta Canas Ventura

We report on a multi-technique investigation of the supramolecular organisation of N,N-diphenyl oxalic amide under differently dimensioned environments, namely three-dimensional (3D) in the bulk crystal, and in two dimensions on the Ag(111) surface as well ...

Growth and characterization of specific self-assembled supramolecular architectures at crystal surfaces

Marta Canas Ventura

In the framework of this thesis self-assembled supramolecular architectures of several molecular species on crystal metal surfaces are characterized. These investigations combine results obtained by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning tu ...

Coexistence of one- and two-dimensional supramolecular assemblies of terephthalic acid on Pd(111) due to self-limiting deprotonation

Klaus Kern, Harald Brune, Sylvain Clair, Marta Canas Ventura

The adsorption of terephthalic acid [C6H4(COOH)(2), TPA] on a Pd(111) surface has been investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy under ultrahig ...
