Alkanethiol adsorption on the Au(100) surfaces is studied by using scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Adsorption of hexanethiol (HT) on the Au(100)-hex surface results in the formation of elonga ...
Single layers of covalently linked organic materials in the form of two-dimensional (2D) polymers constitute structures complementary to inorganic 2D materials. The electronic properties of 2D polymers may be manipulated through a deliberate choice of the ...
The present invention relates to polymeric structures, in the form of flat membrane-like surfaces or micro- nanostructures such as capsules, characterized in that it comprises a substantially two-dimensional layer of covalently-bonded monomers of R-substit ...
This thesis comprises the study of two types of 2D materials, those stabilized by non-covalent and those by covalent interactions. They are synthesized and studied on well-defined metallic surfaces in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). The self-assembly of terephtha ...
Bowl-shaped pi-conjugated compounds offer the possibility to study curvature-dependent host-guest interactions and chemical reactivity in ideal model systems. For surface-adsorbed pi bowls, however, only conformations with the bowl opening pointing away fr ...
A convergent synthesis of racemic 5-amino[6]hexahelicene is described. Cross-coupling reactions are used to assemble a pentacyclic framework, and a metal-catalyzed ring-closure comprises the final step. The enantiomers were separated by means of chromatogr ...
The shape of a polymer plays an important role in determining its interactions with other molecules and with the environment, and is in turn affected by both of them. As a consequence, in the literature the shape properties of a chain in many different con ...
The surface structure of self-assembled monolayers of hexanethiolate (HT) on the Au(100)-(1 x 1) surface has been studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and their results compared to scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelect ...
A combination of Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy and Density Functional Theory simulations highlights the role of van der Waals interactions in the self-assembly of an aminohelicene on Cu(100) and Au(111). ...
The formation of nickel oxide nanolayers by oxidizing Ni overlayers on Rh(111) has been investigated and their structures are reported as a function of the nickel coverage and oxygen pressure. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffra ...
