The rubrene monolayer on A u(111) surface is characterized by well-ordered row-like structures similar to the a-b plane of rubrene single crystal. However, the directions of the neighboured molecular rows are opposite to each other. In a two-layer film of rubrene on Au(111) surface, the arrangements of the top molecular rows are determined by the underneath rows, suggesting an orthorhombic crystal structure with a = 1.26 nm, b = 4.36 nm, c = 0.17nm for multilayer ofrubrene on Au(111).展开更多

STM revealed that a chiral Pc molecule forms a series of metastable dimer configurations with other Pc molecules. Eventually, the Pc molecule recognizes another Pc molecule with the same chirality to form a stable dimer configuration. Homochiral dimers were found on the Cu surface, demonstrating the chiral specificity of Pc dimerization. The mechanism for this chiral recognition process is identified, disclosing the critical role of the particular adsorption geometry of the chiral dimers on the Cu surface.展开更多
