In this review the recent progress in molecular platforms that form rigid and well-defined
contact to a metal surface are discussed. Most of the presented examples have at least three …

The synthesis of four different bidentate hybrid NHC‐thioether ligands is presented. The
corresponding palladium nanoparticles are stable in various solvents, depending on the …

Molecules with tripodal anchoring to substrates represent a versatile platform for the
fabrication of robust self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), complementing the conventional …

Tracking various chemical reactions, including electrochemical and photochemical reactions
at the single-molecule level, is expected to yield a great deal of knowledge from both …

Molecules with tripodal anchoring groups are generally capable of forming self-assembled
monolayers (SAMs), which, however, frequently suffer from inhomogeneous bonding …

Surface mounted molecular devices have received significant attention in the scientific
community because of their unique ability to construct functional materials. The key involves …

The efficient synthesis of a new tripodal platform based on a rigid 9, 9′-spirobifluorene with
three acetyl protected thiol groups in the positions 2, 3′ and 6′ for deposition on Au (111) …

The monomolecular assembly of 1, 8, 13-tricarboxytriptycene (Trip-CA) on a test oxide
substrate, represented by indium tin oxide (ITO), was studied. For this purpose, X-ray …

A dyad consisting of a tripod-shaped trithiol with an adamantane core and a terminal
ferrocenyl group linked through ap-phenyleneethynylene bridge was synthesized. The …

The zwitterionic dithiocarboxylates 1+–CS2−–4+–CS2− were prepared by reacting the
corresponding N-heterocyclic carbenes 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisoproylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene …
