Carbon, as an indispensable chemical element on Earth, has diverse covalent bonding
ability, which enables construction of extensive pivotal carbon-based structures in multiple …

This review aims at giving the readers the basic concepts needed to understand two-
dimensional bimolecular organizations at the vacuum–solid interface. The first part …

Electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA), also called electrospray technique, has been
studied for more than one century. However, since 1990s it has begun to be used to produce …

Templates are widely used to arrange molecular components so they can be covalently
linked into complex molecules that are not readily accessible by classical synthetic …

Advances in template-directed synthesis make it possible to create artificial molecules with
protein-like dimensions, directly from simple components. These synthetic macromolecules …

Rings of chlorophyll molecules harvest sunlight remarkably efficiently during photosynthesis
in purple bacteria. The key to their efficiency lies in their highly delocalized excited states …

The length dependence of charge transport is evaluated in three families of porphyrin-based
wires. Planar edge-fused tapes and alkyne-linked oligomers mediate efficient charge …

Complexes of zinc porphyrin oligomers with multivalent ligands can be denatured by adding
a large excess of a monodentate ligand, such as quinuclidine. We have used denaturation …

In this review, we present important concepts to describe inorganic–organic interfaces in
hybrid solar cells. We discuss the formation of hybrid interfaces, provide an introduction to …

Real-space images of polymers with sub-molecular resolution could provide valuable
insights into the relationship between morphology and functionality of polymer …
