Surface-Confined Self-Assembly of Di-carbonitrile Polyphenyls

Harald Brune, Régis Decker, Uta Schlickum

This Feature Article reports on the controlled formation and structure-functionality aspects of vacuum-deposited self-assembled organic and metal-organic networks at metal surfaces using ditopic linear and nonlinear molecular bricks, namely di-carbonitrile ...

Self-Assembly of Nanoporous Chiral Networks with Varying Symmetry from Sexiphenyl-dicarbonitrile on Ag(111)

Harald Brune, Régis Decker, Uta Schlickum

The self-assembly of sexiphenyl-dicarbonitrile molecules on the Ag(111) surface is investigated using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in ultrahigh vacuum. Several nanoporous networks with varying symmetry and pore size coexist on the su ...

High-Quality 2D Metal−Organic Coordination Network Providing Giant Cavities within Mesoscale Domains

Harald Brune, Régis Decker, Uta Schlickum

A surface-supported open metal−organic nanomesh featuring a 24 nm2 cavity size and extending to μm domains was fabricated by Co-directed assembly of para-hexaphenyl-dicarbonitrile linker molecules in two dimensions. The metallosupramolecular lattice is the ...

Chiral kagome lattice from simple ditopic molecular bricks

Harald Brune, Klaus Kern, Régis Decker, Uta Schlickum

Self-assembly techniques allow for the fabrication of highly organized architectures with atomic-level precision. Here, we report on molecular-level scanning tunneling microscopy observations demonstrating the supramolecular engineering of complex, regular ...

Two-dimensional supramolecular architectures and metallic nanostructures on pre-structured surfaces studied by scanning tunneling microscopy

Régis Decker

In this thesis, we present Scanning Tunneling Microscopy investigations of two-dimensional supramolecular architectures and metallic nanostructures on pre-structured surfaces. We studied different self-assembled supramolecular architectures formed by linea ...

Metal-organic honeycomb nanomeshes with tunable cavity size

Harald Brune, Klaus Kern, Régis Decker

We present a systematic study of metal-organic honeycomb lattices assembled from simple ditopic molecular bricks and Co atoms on Ag(111). This approach enables us to fabricate size- and shape-controlled open nanomeshes with pore dimensions up to 5.7 nm. Th ...

Nucleation of ordered Fe islands on Al2O3/Ni3Al(111)

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Anne Lehnert, Régis Decker

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been used to investigate the nucleation and stability of iron clusters on the Al2O3/Ni3Al (111) surface as a function of coverage and annealing temperature. We show that atomic beam deposition of iron leads to hexago ...
