Abstract

Chiral recognition among three differently functionalized heptahelicene derivatives on Ag(111) and Au(111) surfaces has been studied with scanning tunnelling microscopy. All three species were found to self-assemble into racemic zigzag structures, with alternation of (M)- and (P)-enantiomers.
