Molecular Tectonics on Surfaces: Bottom‐Up Fabrication of 1D Coordination Networks That Form 1D and 2D Arrays on Graphite

Abstract

Nanopatterning of multifunctional architectures, that is, 1D or 2D arrays on surfaces, can be achieved through bottom-up fabrication of 1D coordination networks by self-assembly processes. A coordinating tecton bearing both monodentate and tridentate coordination poles is combined with suitable metal centers (see scanning tunneling microscopy image).
