Abstract
Two-dimensional metal-organic networks (2D MONs) having heterogeneous coordination nodes (HCNs) could exhibit excellent performance in catalysis and optoelectronics because of the unbalanced electron distribution of the coordinating metals. Therefore, the design and construction of 2D MONs with HCNs are highly desirable but remain challenging. Here, we report the construction of 2D organometallic coordination networks with an organic Kagome lattice and a semiregular metal lattice on Au(111) via the in situ formation of HCNs. Using a bifunctional precursor 1,4-dibromo-2,5-diisocyanobenzene, the coordination of isocyano with Au adatom on a room-temperature Au(111) yielded metal-organic coordination chains with isocyano-Au-isocyano nodes. In contrast, on a high-temperature Au(111), a selective debromination/coordination cascade reaction occurred, affording 2D organometallic coordination networks with phenyl-Au-isocyano nodes. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations, we determined the structures of coordination products and the nature of coordination nodes, demonstrating a thermodynamically favorable pathway for forming the phenyl-Au-isocyano nodes.

Abstract
The field of molecular assembly has seen remarkable advancements across various domains, such as materials science, nanotechnology, and biomedicine. Small gas molecules serve as pivotal modulators, capable of altering the architecture of assemblies via tuning a spectrum of intermolecular forces including hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and metal coordination. Surface techniques, notably scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy, have proven instrumental in dissecting the structural metamorphosis and characteristic features of these assemblies at an unparalleled single-molecule resolution. Recent research has spotlighted two innovative approaches for modulating surface molecular assemblies with the aid of small gas molecules: "catassembly" and "coassembly". This Perspective delves into these methodologies through the lens of varying molecular interaction types. The strategies discussed here for regulating molecular assembly structures using small gas molecules can aid in understanding various complex assembly processes and structures and provide guidance for the further fabrication of complex surface structures.

Abstract
N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHCs) are increasingly used to tune the properties of metal surfaces. The generally greater chemical and thermal robustness of NHCs on gold, as compared to thiolate surface ligands, underscores their potential for a range of applications. While much is now known about the adsorption geometry, overlayer structure, dynamics, and stability of NHCs on coinage elements, especially gold and copper, much less is known about their interaction with the surfaces of Pt-group metals, despite the importance of such metals in catalysis and electrochemistry. In this study, reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) is used to probe the structure of benzimidazolylidene NHC ligands on Pt(111) and Ru(0001). The experiments exploit the intense absorption peaks of a CF3 substituent on the phenyl ring of the NHC backbone to provide unprecedented insight into adsorption geometry and chemical stability. The results also permit comparison with literature data for NHC ligands on Au(111) and to DFT predictions for NHCs on Pt(111) and Ru(0001), thereby greatly extending the known surface chemistry of NHCs and providing much needed molecular information for the design of metal-organic hybrid materials involving strongly reactive metals.

Abstract
Reversible transformations between fractals and periodic structures are of fundamental importance for understanding the formation mechanism of fractals. Currently, it is still a challenge to controllably achieve such a transformation. We investigate the effect of CO and CO2 molecules on Sierpiński triangles (STs) assembled from Fe atoms and 4,4″-dicyano-1,1':3',1″-terphenyl (C3PC) molecules on Au surfaces. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we discover that the gas molecules induce a transition from STs into 1D chains. Based on density functional theory modeling, we propose that the atomistic mechanism involves the transformation of a stable 3-fold coordination Fe(C3PC)3 motif to Fe(C3PC)4 with an axially bonded CO molecule. CO2 causes the structural transformation through a molecular catassembly process.

Abstract
The conformation and alignment of molecules in organic materials are important because they affect the materials' bulk physical properties. Because two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a simpler model of three-dimensional (3D) materials, the conformation and alignment of molecules in 2D assemblies have been investigated at the atomic scale by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). However, differences in the conformation and alignment of molecules between 2D and 3D assemblies have not been clarified. In this work, the conformation and alignment of a donor-acceptor-type molecule, 4-(3,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl)benzonitrile (IBN), are studied in 2D and 3D assemblies. Thus, the 2D assembly of IBN on the Au(111) surface was investigated by STM and the 3D assembly of IBN in a single crystal was investigated by X-ray crystallography. Our survey revealed that the conformation of IBN is planar in both 2D and 3D assemblies because of the electron-delocalised structure resulting from the electron-donating and electron-accepting groups of IBN; thus, the values of the dipole moment of IBN in 2D and 3D assemblies are essentially the same. In both the 2D and 3D assemblies, IBN molecules align to cancel out the dipole moment even though the self-assembled structures differ. In the 2D assemblies, the orientation and self-assembled structure of IBN are changed by the surface density of IBN, and they are affected by the crystal orientation and superstructure of Au(111) because of the strong interaction between IBN and Au(111). In addition, scanning tunnelling spectroscopy revealed that the coordination structure is not included in the self-assembled structure of IBN on Au(111).

Abstract
Molecular adsorption conformations and arrangement configurations on surfaces are important structural aspects of surface stereochemistry, but their roles in steering the structures of metal-organic networks (MONs) remain vague and unexplored. In this study, we constructed MONs by the coordination self-assembly of isocyanides on Cu(111) and Ag(111) surfaces and demonstrated that the MON structures can be steered by surface stereochemistry, including the adsorption conformations of the isocyanide molecules and the arrangement configurations of the coordination nodes and subunits. The coordination self-assembly of 1,4-phenylene diisocyanobenzene afforded a honeycomb MON consisting of 3-fold (isocyano)3-Cu motifs on a Cu(111) surface. In contrast, geometrically different chevron-shaped 1,3-phenylene diisocyanobenzene (m-DICB) failed to generate a MON, which is ascribable to its standing conformation on the Cu(111) surface. However, m-DICB was adsorbed in a flat conformation on a Ag(111) surface, which has a larger lattice constant than a Cu(111) surface, and smoothly underwent coordination self-assembly to form a MON consisting of (isocyano)3-Ag motifs. Interestingly, only C3-Ag nodes with heterotactic configurations could grow into larger subunits; those subunits with heterotactic configurations further grew into Sierpiński triangle fractals (up to fourth order), while subunits with homotactic configurations afforded a triangular MON.

Abstract
Amino-functionalized ionic liquids (IL) are often applied to fix CO2. However, as far as we know, none of them have ever been reported to exhibit considerable physical CO2 capture. Herein, we describe an amino-functionalized room-temperature ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazolate ([Bmim][ATZ]), with an unusual ultrafast physical CO2 capture at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Within the time needed for a chemisorbent to reach an equilibrium, 15 adsorption and desorption cycles are finished for [Bmim][ATZ], with an accumulative molar ratio of up to 2.04. The CO2/IL ratio for one adsorption process reaches 0.14, which is 4 times the highest recorded physical CO2 solubility by [thtdp][Cl] (trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride). The first theoretical study on anion-anion interactions of ionic liquids is reported, which rationalizes the inhibition of chemical adsorption. These results provide a new perspective on the aspect of CO2 capture, as well as designing of ionic liquids.

Abstract
Photosynthesis is the model system for energy conversion. It uses CO2 as a starting reactant to convert solar energy into chemical energy, i.e., organic molecules or biomass. The first and rate-determining step of this cycle is the immobilization and activation of CO2, catalyzed by RuBisCO enzyme, the most abundant protein on earth. Here, we propose a strategy to develop novel biomimetic two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures for CO2 adsorption at room temperature by reductionist mimicking of the Mg-carboxylate RuBisCO active site. We present a method to synthesize a 2D surface-supported system based on Mg2+ centers stabilized by a carboxylate environment and track their structural dynamics and reactivity under either CO2 or O2 exposure at room temperature. The CO2 molecules adsorb temporarily on the Mg2+ centers, producing a charge imbalance that catalyzes a phase transition into a different configuration, whereas O2 adsorbs on the Mg2+ center, giving rise to a distortion in the metal-organic bonds that eventually leads to the collapse of the structure. The combination of bioinspired synthesis and surface reactivity studies demonstrated here for Mg-based 2D ionic networks holds promise for the development of new catalysts that can work at room temperature.

Abstract
Since the development of metallopolymers, there has been tremendous interest in the applications of this type of materials. The interest in these materials stems from their potential use in industry as catalysts, biomedical agents in healthcare, energy storage and production as well as climate change mitigation. The past two decades have clearly shown exponential growth in the development of many new classes of metallopolymers that address these issues. Today, metallopolymers are considered to be at the forefront for discovering new and sustainable heterogeneous catalysts, therapeutics for drug-resistant diseases, energy storage and photovoltaics, molecular barometers and thermometers, as well as carbon dioxide sequesters. The focus of this review is to highlight the advances in design of metallopolymers with specific sustainable applications.

Abstract
We present a combined vibrational and morphological characterization of the self-assembly of 1,4-phenylene-diisocyanide (PDI) on Au(111) from methanol solution. Vibrational sum frequency generation (vSFG) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) have been applied to determine the adsorption geometry of the PDI-Au adatom complexes as well as the morphological transformations of the Au(111) substrate upon SAM formation from solutions with PDI concentrations in the μM to mM range. At low concentration/coverage, PDI adsorbs in flat adsorption geometry, with both isocyanide groups attached to Au adatoms on the Au(111) surface. Transformation to a standing-up phase is observed with increasing concentration/coverage. In contrast to findings for PDI adsorbed in ultrahigh vacuum, PDI does not form a long-range-ordered monolayer phase when adsorbed from solution. In addition, the Au(111) surface is subjected to structural modifications. Au vacancy islands and ad-islands, which are typical substrate defects formed during the self-assembly of aromatic thiols on Au(111), are also created during PDI adsorption from solution. At low PDI concentration, the Au vacancy islands and ad-islands are found at specific sites mediated by the herringbone reconstruction of the Au(111) surface, giving rise to long-range-ordered structures. These structures do not form during UHV adsorption of PDI on Au(111) nor has a similar ordering effect been observed for any related thiol-SAM system investigated so far.

Abstract
Half-metallic materials with a high Curie temperature (T C) have many potential applications in spintronics. Magnetic metal free two-dimensional (2D) half-metallic materials with a honeycomb structure contain graphene-like Dirac bands with π orbitals and show excellent aspects in transport properties. In this article, by investigating a series of 2D organometallic frameworks with a honeycomb structure using first principles calculations, we study the origin of forming half-metallicity in this kind of 2D organometallic framework. Our analysis shows that charge transfer and covalent bonding are two crucial factors in the formation of half-metallicity in organometallic frameworks. (i) Sufficient charge transfer from metal atoms to the molecules is essential to form the magnetic centers. (ii) These magnetic centers need to be connected through covalent bonding, which guarantee the strong ferromagnetic (FM) coupling. As examples, the organometallic frameworks composed by (1,3,5)-benzenetricarbonitrile (TCB) molecules with noble metals (Au, Ag, Cu) show half-metallic properties with T C as high as 325 K. In these organometallic frameworks, the strong electronegative cyano-groups (CN groups) drive the charge transfer from metal atoms to the TCB molecules, forming the local magnetic centers. These magnetic centers experience strong FM coupling through the d-p covalent bonding. We propose that most of the 2D organometallic frameworks composed by molecule-CN-noble metal honeycomb structures contain similar half metallicity. This is verified by replacing TCB molecules with other organic molecules. Although the TCB-noble metal organometallic framework has not yet been synthesized, we believe the development of synthesizing techniques and facility will enable the realization of them. Our study provides new insight into the 2D half-metallic material design for the potential applications in nanotechnology.
