Supramolecular chemistry has a very large impact on chemistry of current interest and the
use of non-covalent but directional forces is appealing for the construction of …

The recent emergence of molecular films as candidates for functional electronic materials
has prompted numerous investigations of the underlying mechanisms responsible for their …

When a liquid is confined in a narrow gap (as near a cell membrane, in a lubricated contact
between solids, or in a porous medium), new dynamic behavior emerges. The effective …

Two-dimensional molecular patterns were obtained by the adsorption of long-chain alkanes,
alcohols, fatty acids, and a dialkylbenzene from organic solutions onto the basal plane of …

MICELLES that can catalyse their replication have been described recently1–3. In the
previous experiments, micelles (or bilayer vesicles4) were always present in the initial …

The liquid/solid interface provides an ideal environment to investigate self-assembly
phenomena, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is the preferred methodology to …

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and its Application presents a unified view of the rapidly
growing field of STM, and its many derivatives. A thorough discussion of the various …

With the adsorption of larger molecules being increasingly tackled by surface scientists, the
aspect of chirality often plays a role. This paper gives a topical review of molecular chirality …

Investigations of long-chain hydrocarbon and substituted hydrocarbon materials
physisorbed at the liquid− solid interface have provided a particularly fruitful area of …

The size and complexity of the structure of macromolecules allows the combination of
different, in some cases even antagonistic, properties, eg, in solubility, in flexibility, or …
