Polymorphism and chiral expression in two-dimensional subphthalocyanine crystals on Au(111).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The adsorption of subphthalocyanine (SubPc) on the Au(111) surface has been studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). Depending on coverage and deposition temperature, four different phases have been observed, of which two are coexisting. Spontaneous symmetry breaking inducing mirror domains is observed for all structures. Supramolecular chirality is expressed at different levels and length scale. Our detailed STM study allows conclusions on the origin of polymorphism due to changing coverage and temperature.

STM manipulation of a subphthalocyanine double-wheel molecule on Au(111).
A new class of double-wheel molecules is manipulated on a Au(111) surface by the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) at low temperature. The double-wheel molecule consists of two subphthalocyanine wheels connected by a central rotation carbon axis. Each of the subphthalocyanine wheels has a nitrogen tag to monitor its intramolecular rolling during an STM manipulation sequence. The posi...

Integration of inherent and induced chirality into subphthalocyanine analogue
Conventional conjugated systems are characteristic of only either inherent or induced chirality because of synthetic challenge in combination of chiral segment into the main chromophore. In this work, chiral binaphthyl segment is directly fused into the central chromophore of a subphthalocyanine skeleton, resulting in a novel type of chiral subphthalocyanine analogue (R/S)-1 of integrated inher...
متن کاملNaphtho[2,3-a]pyrene forms chiral domains on Au111.
Chiral domains have been prepared by evaporation of a two-dimensionally chiral molecule, naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene (NP), onto the hexagonal Au(111) surface in an ultrahigh vacuum environment. High-resolution UHV scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) showed that NP formed chiral domains consisting of only one 2D enantiomer rather than racemic two-dimensional unit cells. A structural model is proposed t...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Novel Hexagonal Shaped Channel Drop Filter Based on Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...
