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

An increase or modification of structural order in the vicinity of a solid substrate is known for
a wide range of materials. For molecular materials crystallizing on a solid surface it has been …

Chemical-vapor-deposited large-area graphene is employed as the coating of transparent
substrates for the growth of the prototypical organic n-type semiconductor …

The detection of analytes using spectroscopy methods, such as surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS), is crucial in the fields of medical diagnostics, forensics, security, and …

Crystal structure solutions from thin films are often performed by grazing-incidence X-ray
diffraction (GIXD) experiments. In particular, on isotropic substrates the thin film crystallites …

Molecular dynamics simulations based on an atomistic empirical force field have been
carried out to investigate structural, thermodynamic, and dynamical properties of adlayers …

Grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction studies on organic thin films are often performed on
systems showing fibre-textured growth. However, indexing their experimental diffraction …

Fluorescence is a rapid and noninvasive technique for analyte detection. Green,
sustainable, and safe materials that enhance the analyte fluorescence signal possess the …

In this study, we report the first example of polymorphic Sn (IV)-tetrapyridyl porphyrins axially
armed with halogen (Cl, Br)-substituted carboxyphenyl ligands (structural formula [Sn (tPyP) …

Porphyrin derivatives are promising materials for various thin-film-based devices such as
solar cells, field-effect transistors, and gas sensors. Since the molecular aggregation …
