Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

One basic principle regulating self-assembly is associated with the asymmetry of constituent
building blocks or packing models. Using asymmetry to manipulate molecular-level devices …

Creation of polymers comprised of repeat units that can create topologically planar
macromolecules (rather than linear) has been the topic of several recent studies in the field …

With the adsorption of larger molecules being increasingly tackled by surface scientists, the
aspect of chirality often plays a role. This paper gives a topical review of molecular chirality …

In the present review we survey the main advances made in recent years on the
understanding of chemical chirality at solid surfaces. Chirality is an important topic, made …

This tutorial review summarises the molecular and atomic-level insights on the nature of
surface chirality that have recently been obtained from creating molecular monolayers at …

The surface-assisted bottom-up fabrication of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), which
consists of the radical polymerization of precursors followed by dehydrogenation, has …

Two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular self-assembly at liquid–solid interfaces is a
thermodynamically complex process producing a variety of structures. The formation of …

Two-dimensional (2D) chirality has been actively studied in view of numerous applications
of chiral surfaces such as in chiral resolutions and enantioselective catalysis. Here, we …

Homochirality is essential to many biological systems, and plays a pivotal role in various
technological applications. The generation of homochirality and an understanding of its …
