STM Investigation of Molecular Architectures of Porphyrinoids on a Ag(111) Surface: Supramolecular Ordering, Electronic Properties and Reactivity

by Florian Buchner

Book Overview

The functionalization of surfaces on the nanoscale is one of the most fascinating and at the same time challenging topics in science. It is the key to tailoring catalysts, sensors, or devices for solar energy conversion, whose functional principle is based on the interaction of an active solid surface with another (liquid or gaseous) phase. As an example, planar transition metal complexes adsorbed on solid supports are promising candidates for novel...
