The ability to manipulate the structure and function of promising nanosystems via energy
input and external stimuli is emerging as an attractive paradigm for developing …

The ability to obtain a molecular-level understanding of the chemistry that takes place at
liquid/solid interfaces is key to the development and improvement of many chemical and …

Self‐assembly, the process by which objects initially distributed at random arrange into well‐
defined patterns exclusively due to their local mutual interactions without external …

We have modeled the adsorption of various substituted derivatives of benzene on a
graphene sheet, using a first-principles density functional theory− local density …

Studies of bimetallic catalysts can be tracked back to the early 1960s in the Exxon Research
and Engineering Company. The term''bimetallic clusters''was introduced by John H. Sinfelt in …

Self-assembled monolayers are a unique class of nanostructured materials, with properties
determined by their molecular lattice structures, as well as the interfaces with their substrates …

Surface vibrational spectroscopy has developed rapidly over the past decades, thanks to the
advent of ultrashort tunable laser pulses in the mid-infrared range. In particular, femtosecond …

The carbene tautomers of pyridine, first postulated in 1937,[1] have recently begun to be
systematically investigated both in the gas phase [2] and in the form of transition-metal …

Nonsymmetrical organic molecules adsorbed on solid surfaces may assemble into random
networks, thereby providing model systems for organic glasses that can be directly observed …

Abstract'Covalent self-assembly', ie the on-surface synthesis of covalent organic aggregates
and networks, has received considerable attention. This review covers recent scanning …
