Summary: This study achieved the on-surface post-functionalization of supramolecular polymers on gold surfaces, and discovered an enantioselective on-surface reaction induced by the chirality of the supramolecular polymers. Mechanistic analysis and DFT calculations revealed high enantioselectivity during the addition of ICBP to the chiral SP intermediate.

Summary: Currently, there is limited research on the self-assembly of three-dimensional molecules on surfaces. These molecules have a greater variability in their modes of adsorption compared to (nearly) planar molecules. This variability can significantly affect the expression of intermolecular binding motifs and the formation of supramolecular structures. The study found that molecule-surface interactions can be tuned to facilitate crystal engineering in two dimensions.

Summary: Supramolecular self-assembly is a feasible approach for nanopatterning and functionality, and selective adsorption at the molecular scale is crucial for both fundamental and practical applications. A controllable method for fabricating distorted Kagome-like networks by coupling molecular functional groups and substrate atoms was demonstrated. A chiral Kagome-like network was constructed using precursor molecules and scanning tunneling microscopy combined with density functional theory was used to examine the assembly mechanisms and cavity characteristics. The efficient template properties of Kagome-like networks for regulating the adsorption configuration of C60 were also explored.

Summary: This study uses X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to determine that there is essentially no threshold to water adsorption on the in situ cleaved MAPbBr(3)(001) single crystal surface. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), it shows that the initial surface restructuring upon exposure to water vapor occurs in isolated regions, which grow in area with increasing exposure, providing insight into the initial degradation mechanism of HOIPs. The electronic structure evolution of the surface was also monitored via ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS), evidencing an increased bandgap state density following water vapor exposure, which is attributed to surface defect formation due to lattice swelling. This study will help to inform the surface engineering and designs of future perovskite-based optoelectronic devices.

Summary: Intermolecular interactions play a crucial role in guiding self-assembly on surfaces. Precise control over these interactions by rational design of the molecule allows fine control over the self-assembly patterns. Hydrogen bonding significantly impacts two-dimensional molecular self-assembly and can be a potent strategy to modulate molecular 2D lattices on surfaces.

Summary: In this study, the effect of concentration on the self-assembled molecular network formation process was investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. Isophthalic acids were chosen as a model system, and the adsorption behavior was evaluated at the nanoscale. The results showed the existence of a critical concentration for self-assembly, with the molecular structure having a significant impact on this threshold value. Furthermore, highly cooperative behavior was observed at the liquid/solid interface, providing a rare example of quantitative measurement of cooperative phenomena.

Summary: In this study, selective C-H activation of hexaazatriphenylene by Scholl reaction was reported for the first time, achieving dehydrogenative C-C couplings. The formation of one-dimensional polymers with a double-chain structure was revealed using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Density functional theory calculations rationalized the growth process, highlighting the cooperative catalytic action of Na and Ag adatoms in steering the C-H selectivity for polymerization.

Summary: The self-assembly process of a BODIPY derivative functionalized with uracil groups was thoroughly investigated using STM and DFT methods. The formation of hydrogen bonds between uracil groups was identified as the key factor contributing to the construction of ordered self-assembly structure. Additionally, the nanotribological property of the self-assembly on HOPG surface was measured using AFM.

Summary: This study demonstrates the synthesis of 2D van der Waals supramolecular structures through self-assembled cocrystallization on Au(111) surface. The formation of molecular frameworks entirely dependent on van der Waals interactions allows for the creation of diverse stable phases through delicate manipulation of molecular conformation. This innovative integration of van der Waals interaction provides new avenues for developing supramolecular patterns characterized by their adaptable bonding.

Summary: This study presents the first real space characterization of borazine molecules and their self-assemblies on solid supports. The adsorption of borazine on Ag(111) surface is weak and non-dissociative, with the ring aligned parallel to the surface plane. Borazine molecules prefer hollow adsorption sites, leading to the assembly of both porous and dense-packed structures. STM-based manipulation is demonstrated to modify the borazine adsorption configuration.

Summary: Polymers obtained through on-surface chemistry have shown promise as a new class of materials. In this study, we propose a novel strategy for the self-assembly of one-dimensional polymers using photochemical [2+2] cyclo-addition or mild thermal annealing. We characterized all nanostructures using scanning tunneling microscopy on a graphite surface under ambient conditions. Our results demonstrate that the nature of the stimulus significantly affects the quality of the resulting polymers in terms of length and defects. This new approach provides an efficient method for on-surface self-assembly of one-dimensional polymers.
