Using individual molecules as conducting bridges for electrons offers opportunities when
investigating quantum phenomena that are not readily accessible from experiments …

Creating functional electrical circuits using individual or ensemble molecules, often termed
as “molecular-scale electronics”, not only meets the increasing technical demands of the …

After conquering the atomic structure about a century ago, chemists have been largely
interested in understanding the concept of chemical bond and the formation of a molecule …

This review covers the surface chemistry of porphyrins, phthalocyanines, their metal
complexes, and related compounds, with particular focus on chemical reactions at …

Porphyrins and other tetrapyrrole macrocycles possess an impressive variety of functional
properties that have been exploited in natural and artificial systems. Different metal centres …

Understanding how molecules interact to form large-scale hierarchical structures on
surfaces holds promise for building designer nanoscale constructs with defined chemical …

Controlling selectivity of reactions is an ongoing quest in chemistry. In this work, we
demonstrate reversible and selective bond formation and dissociation promoted by tip …

Innovative anticancer therapies based on the activation of the immune system offer promise
in the battle against cancers resistant to traditional treatments. Examples of such therapeutic …

Using scanning probe microscopy techniques, at low temperatures and in ultrahigh vacuum,
individual molecules adsorbed on surfaces can be probed with ultrahigh resolution to …

The Bergman cyclization is one of the most fascinating rearrangements in chemistry, with
