Supramolecular Patterned Surfaces Driven by Cooperative Assembly of C₆₀ and Porphyrins on Metal Substrates

Abstract

Plenty of room on top: Unprecedented one- and two-dimensional fullerene patterns were obtained upon evaporation of pristine C60 onto pre-organized porphyrin monolayers on silver surfaces following a bottom-up approach. The arrangement of the fullerene molecules on the patterned layer can be controlled by the porphyrin structure (see scanning tunneling microscopy images).
