Ullmann coupling of halogenated aromatics is widely used in on-surface synthesis of two-
dimensional (2D) polymers and graphene nanoribbons. It stands out among other reactions …

Nanocars are artificial molecular machines with chassis, axles, and wheels designed for
nanoscale transport at materials' surfaces. Understanding the dependence of surface …

The surface‐induced anchoring effect is a well‐developed technique to control the growth of
liquid crystals (LCs). Nevertheless, a defined nanometer‐scale template has never been …

The formation of ordered molecular structures on surfaces is determined by the balance
between molecule–molecule and molecule–substrate interactions. Whether the aggregation …

Here, we present a thorough theoretical study of the interaction, chemisorption, and thermal
decomposition of three vinyl derivatives (acrolein, acrylonitrile, and acrylamide) on a pristine …

In this chapter, we review recent studies of single molecule magnets (SMMs) for application
in electronic devices using the spin degree of freedom. In such devices, SMMs are …

Starting from a clean, ordered surface, the growth of new materials can be accomplished
with atomic precision at a monolayer thickness through the controlled coupling of molecules …

In the present work, condensed and diluted phases of 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic
dianhydride (PTCDA) were investigated on thin KCl (100) films on the Ag (100) surface. The …

La réalisation de nano-dispositifs de quelques couches d'épaisseur est l'un des grands défis
de la nanotechnologie. Cependant, le besoin de miniaturisation constante a introduit une …

In this dissertation, we used single molecular fluorescence microscopy to investigate the
single molecular machines such as nanocars and unimolecular submersible nanomachines …
