The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

With the rapid development of scanning probe microscopy, it has become possible to study
polymerization processes on suitable surfaces at the atomic level and in real space. In the …

This is a tutorial on use of external-electric-fields (EEFs) as effectors of chemical change.
The tutorial instructs readers how to conceptualize and design electric-field effects on bonds …

Static electricity is central to many day-to-day practical technologies, from separation
methods in the recycling of plastics to transfer inks in photocopying, but the exploration of …

The widespread use of controlled molecular‐level motion in key natural processes suggests
that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of …

Supramolecular chemistry has a very large impact on chemistry of current interest and the
use of non-covalent but directional forces is appealing for the construction of …

Transport of electrons in a single molecule junction is the simplest problem in the general
subject area of molecular electronics. In the past few years, this area has been extended to …

Using scanning probe microscopy techniques, at low temperatures and in ultrahigh vacuum,
individual molecules adsorbed on surfaces can be probed with ultrahigh resolution to …

The ability to organize matter on the nanometer scale is one of the major enabling principles
in the field of nanotechnology. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has been a key tool in …

Single atom/molecule manipulation with a scanning-tunneling-microscope (STM) tip is an
innovative experimental technique of nanoscience. Using a STM tip as an engineering or …
