Thin films of vapor-deposited Ni (II) and Co (II) complexes of tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP
and CoTPP) were studied supported on gold and embedded in Al− Al2O3− MTPP− Pb …

Light emission from molecule-covered surfaces in the scanning tunneling microscope has
repeatedly been reported with optical contrast occurring on a molecular scale. The role of …

The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) can be used to select a particular adsorbed
molecule, probe its electronic structure, dissociate the molecule by using electrons from the …

This article reviews manipulation of single molecules by scanning tunnelling microscopes, in
particular vertical manipulation, lateral manipulation, and inelastic electron tunnelling (IET) …

Utilizing single molecules as the building blocks for electronic devices is one promising
pathway for microelectronic miniaturization. Exploring the molecular conformation and …

The orientation of molecules is crucial in many chemical processes. Here, we report how
single dipolar molecules can be oriented with maximum precision using the electric field of a …

We report on the formation of a metal-molecule complex that can be used as a molecular
switch. Using a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope, a covalent bond was formed …

Considering studies of molecular adsorption we review recent developments in the field of
scanning probe microscopy and in particular in scanning tunnelling microscopy …

The arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule influences its physical and chemical
properties. The scanning tunneling microscope can provide electronic and vibrational …

By employing single charge injections with an atomic force microscope, we investigated
redox reactions of a molecule on a multilayer insulating film. First, we charged the molecule …
