In the pursuit of manipulating the properties of single atoms, the surface-supported metal–
organic frameworks (MOFs) provide us opportunities to individually address the electronic …

It is shown that the self‐assembly of a surface‐confined metal–organic network such as
cobalt porphyrins on graphene is accompanied by the evolution of coordination‐dependent …

Embedding metal clusters in surface-supported metal-organic frameworks gives rise to
multinuclear metal-organic coordination structures (MMOCs). The controllable …

In metal–organic complexes, the coordination number defines the number of σ-bonds
between ligands and the central metal atom and thus plays a vital role in determining the …

We investigate a layer of cobalt tetrapyridyl porphyrins (CoTPyPs) self-assembled on an
almost freestanding graphene (GR) sheet supported by Ir (111) with complementary …

Achieving control in the design of monolayer 2D functional catalysts represents a significant
challenge. If that challenge is surmounted, coordinated single-metal-atom sites can offer …

Bi-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D-MOF) are a relatively new class of materials
that are gaining particular interest in surface science. Their dimensionality naturally allows …
