Structural characterisation of molecular conformation and the incorporation of adatoms in an on-surface Ullmann-type reaction
(The University of Nottingham, 2020-11-03)
The on-surface synthesis of covalently bonded materials differs from solution-phase synthesis in several respects. The transition from a three-dimensional reaction volume to quasi two-dimensional confinement, as is the ...
Self-assembly of a strapped linear porphyrin oligomer on HOPG
(The University of Nottingham, 2021-11-03)
Polymeric structures based on porphyrin units exhibit a range of complex properties, such as nanoscale charge transport and quantum interference effects, and have the potential to act as biomimetic materials for light-harvesting ...
Order, disorder, and metalation of tetraphenylporphyrin (2H-TPP) on Au(111)
(The University of Nottingham, 2022-05-09)
A thermally induced order–disorder transition of tetraphenylporphyrin (2H-TPP) on Au(111) is characterised by scanning probe microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy-based techniques. We observed that a transition ...
Molecular diffusion and self-assembly: Quantifying the influence of substrate hcp and fcc atomic stacking
(The University of Nottingham, 2022-10-14)
Molecular diffusion is a fundamental process underpinning surface-confined molecular self-assembly and synthesis. Substrate topography influences molecular assembly, alignment, and reactions; with the relationship between ...
