Surface Chemistry and Catalysis

Metal-free phthalocyanines and metal phthalocyaninates (M = Ni, Cu, Co or Zn) carrying eight alkylthio-groups on peripheral positions have been synthesised from 4,5-bis(alkylthio)phthalonitrile and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (dbu) or the corresponding anhydrous metal salt [NiCl2, CuCl, CoCl2 or Zn(O2CMe)2]. Th…

The chirality of nanoparticles (NPs) and their assemblies has been investigated predominantly for noble metals and II–VI semiconductors. However, ceramic NPs represent the majority of nanoscale materials in nature. The robustness and other innate properties of ceramics offer technological opportunities in catalysis, b…

Considerable interest in calcite crystallization has prompted many studies on organic molecule adsorption. However, each study has explored only a few compounds, using different methods and conditions, so it is difficult to combine the results into a general model that describes the fundamental mechanisms. Our goal wa…

We combine scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements with ab initio calculations to study the self-assembly of long chain alkanes and related alcohol and carboxylic acid molecules on graphite. For each system, we identify the optimum adsorption geometry and explain the energetic origin of the domain formation o…

Direct in situ studies of the surface diffusion of isolated adsorbates at an electrochemical interface by high-speed scanning tunneling microscopy (video STM) are presented for sulfide adsorbates on Cu(100) in HCl solution. As revealed by a quantitative statistical analysis, the adsorbate motion can be described by th…

Selectivity in chemical reactions is a major objective in industrial processes to minimize spurious byproducts and to save scarce resources. In homogeneous catalysis the most important factor which determines selectivity is structural symmetry. However, a transfer of the symmetry concept to heterogeneous catalysis sti…

We investigated the synthesis of one-dimensional nanostructures via Schiff base (imine) formation on three close-packed coinage metal (Au, Ag, and Cu) surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. We demonstrate the feasibility of forming pyrene-fused pyrazaacene-based oligomers on the Ag(111) surface by thermal anneali…
