Abstract
Owing to their conformational flexibility, soft molecules with side chains play a crucial role in molecular self-assembly or self-organization processes toward bottom-up building of supramolecular nanostructures. However, the influence of the rotating side chains in the confined space and subsequent surface-confined supramolecular self-assembly remains rarely explored. Herein, using the spatial confinement effect between soft building blocks, we realized size control on surface-confined supramolecular coordination self-assembly through the synergy between the repulsive steric hindrance and the attractive chemical interactions. Combining scanning tunneling microscopy with density functional theory calculations and Monte Carlo simulations, we elucidated the effective repulsive force generated by the thermal wiggling motions of the soft building blocks, allowing length tuning of the self-assembled chain structures. Through a delicate balance between the repulsive interaction induced by the spatial confinement effect and the coordinate chemical interaction, we provide a new strategy for controlling the geometry of the on-surface supramolecular nanostructures.

Abstract
We report a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of the molecular self-assembly of biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylic acid (BPTC) at the octanoic acid/graphite interface. STM revealed that the BPTC molecules generated stable bilayers and monolayers under high and low sample concentrations, respectively. Besides hydrogen bonds, the bilayers were stabilized by molecular π-stacking, whereas the monolayers were maintained by solvent co-adsorption. A thermodynamically stable Kagomé structure was obtained upon mixing BPTC with coronene (COR), while kinetic trapping of COR in the co-crystal structure was found by the subsequent deposition of COR onto a preformed BPTC bilayer on the surface. Force field calculation was conducted to compare the binding energies of different phases, which helped to provide plausible explanations for the structural stability formed via kinetic and thermodynamic pathways.

Abstract
The rational fabrication of low-dimensional materials with a well-defined topology and functions is an incredibly important aspect of nanotechnology. In particular, the on-surface synthesis (OSS) methods based on the bottom-up approach enable a facile construction of sophisticated molecular architectures unattainable by traditional methods of wet chemistry. Among such supramolecular constructs, especially interesting are the surface-supported metal–organic networks (SMONs), composed of low-coordinated metal atoms and π-aromatic bridging linkers. In this work, the lattice Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique was used to extract the chemical information encoded in a family of Y-shaped positional isomers co-adsorbed with trivalent metal atoms on a flat metallic surface with (111) geometry. Depending on the intramolecular distribution of active centers (within the simulated molecular bricks, we observed a metal-directed self-assembly of two-dimensional (2D) openwork patterns, aperiodic mosaics, and metal–organic ladders. The obtained theoretical findings could be especially relevant for the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experimentalists interested in a surface-assisted construction of complex nanomaterials stabilized by directional coordination bonds.

Abstract
One of the most appealing topics in the study of metal-organic networks is the growth mechanism. However, its study is still considered a significant challenge. Herein, using scanning tunneling microscopy, the growth mechanisms of metal-alkynyl networks on Ag(111) and Au(111) surfaces were investigated at the atomic scale. During the reaction of 1,3,5-tris(chloroethynyl)benzene on Ag(111), honeycomb Ag-alkynyl networks formed at 393 K, and only short chain intermediates were observed. By contrast, the same precursor formed honeycomb Au-alkynyl networks on Au(111) at 503 K. Progression annealing led to a stepwise evolution process, in which the sequential activation of three Cl-alkynyl bonds led to the formation of dimers, zigzag chains, and novel chiral networks as the intermediates. Moreover, density functional theory calculations indicate that chlorine atoms are crucial in assisting the breakage of metal-alkynyl bonds to form Cl-metal-alkynyl, which guarantees the reversibility of the break/formation equilibration as the key to forming regular large-scale organometallic networks.

Abstract
We introduce a molecular dynamics (MD) coarse-grained model for the description of tripod building blocks. This model has been used by us already for linear, V-shape, and tetratopic molecules. We wanted to further extend its possibilities to trifunctional molecules to prove its versatility. For the chosen systems we have also compared the MD results with Monte Carlo results on a triangular lattice. We have shown that the constraints present in the latter method can enforce the formation of completely different structures, not reproducible with off-lattice simulations. In addition to that, we have characterized the obtained structures regarding various parameters such as theoretical diffraction pattern and average association number.

Abstract
On-surface metal-organic nanoporous networks generally refer to adatom coordinated molecular arrays, which are characterized by the presence of well-defined and regular nanopores. These periodic structures constructed using two types of components confine the surface electrons of the substrate within their nanocavities. However, the confining (or scattering) strength that individual building units exhibit is a priori unknown. Here, we study the modification of the substrate's surface electrons by the interaction with a Cu-coordinated TPyB metal-organic network formed on Cu(111) and disentangle the scattering potentials and confinement properties. By means of STM and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we find almost unperturbed free-electron-like states stemming from the rather weak electron confinement that yields significant coupling between adjacent pores. Electron plane wave expansion simulations match the superlattice induced experimental electronic structure, which features replicating bands and energy renormalization effects. Notably, the electrostatic potential landscape obtained from our ab initio calculations suggests that the molecules are the dominant scattering entities while the coordination metal atoms sandwiched between them act as leaky channels. These metal atom transmission conduits facilitate and enhance the coupling among quantum dots, which are prone to be exploited to engineer the electronic structure of surface electron gases.

Abstract
The self-assembly process of a cobalt-porphyrin derivative (Co-TCNPP) containing cyanophenyl substituents at all four meso positions on Au(111) was studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Deposition of Co-TCNPP onto Au(111) gave rise to the formation of a close-packed H-bonded network, which was independent of coverage as revealed by STM and LEED. However, a coverage-dependent structural transformation took place upon the deposition of Co atoms. At monolayer coverage, a reticulated long-range ordered network exhibiting a distinct fourfold Co coordination was observed. By reduction of the molecular coverage, a second metal-organic coordination network (MOCN) was formed in coexistence with the fourfold Co-coordinated network, that is, a chevron structure stabilized by a simultaneous expression of H-bonding and threefold Co coordination. We attribute the coverage-dependent structural transformation to the in-plane compression pressure exerted by the molecules deposited on the surface. Our study shows that a subtle interplay between the chemical nature of the building blocks (molecules and metallic atoms) and molecular coverage can steer the formation of structurally different porphyrin-based MOCNs.

Abstract
Various architectures have been generated and observed by STM at a solid/liquid interface resulting from an in situ chemical reaction between the bipyridine terminal groups of a ditopic ligand and Co(II) ions. Large monodomains of one-dimensional (1D) double wires are formed by Co(II)/ligand coordination, with polymer lengths as long as 150 nm. The polymers are organized as parallel wires 8 nm apart, and the voids between wires are occupied by solvent molecules. Two-dimensional (2D) grids, showing high surface mobility, coexist with the wires. The wires are formed from linear chain motifs where each cobalt center is bonded to two bipyridines. 2D grids are generated from a bifurcation node where one cobalt bonds to three bipyridines. Surface reconstruction of the grids and of the 1D wires was observed under the STM tip. As an exciting result, analysis of these movements strongly indicates surface reactions at the solid/liquid interface.

Abstract
The reactivity of benzotriazole with copper on a gold surface has been studied by a combination of surface sensitive methods with support from DFT (density functional theory) calculations. For some time benzotriazole has been known to enhance the corrosion resistance of copper at the monolayer level, although the exact mechanism is still a matter of discussion and disagreement in the literature. A single crystal Au(111) surface allows evaluation of the interaction of weakly physisorbed, intact benzotriazole molecules with copper atoms dosed to sub-monolayer amounts. These interactions have been characterised, in the temperature range ca. 300-650 K, by scanning tunnelling microscopy, high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy and synchrotron-based X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure studies. Supporting DFT calculations considered the stability of isolated, gas-phase, benzotriazole/Cu species and their corresponding spectroscopic signature at the N K absorption edge. In agreement with previous investigations, benzotriazole physisorbs on a clean Au(111) surface at room temperature forming a hydrogen-bonded network of flat-lying BTAH molecules, relatively weakly bonded to the underlying gold surface. However, in the presence of co-adsorbed copper atoms, proton removal from the molecules leads to species better described as BTA- interacting directly with Cu atoms. In these situations the molecules adopt a more upright orientation and Cu(BTA)2 and -[Cu(BTA)]n- species are formed, depending on temperature and coverage of the adsorbed species. These species are stable to relatively high temperatures, 550-600 K.

Abstract
The coordination-restricted ortho-site C-H bond activation and dehydrogenative homocoupling of 4,4'-(1,3-phenylene)dipyridine (1,3-BPyB) and 4,4'-(1,4-phenylene)dipyridine (1,4-BPyB) on different metal surfaces were studied by a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy, noncontact atomic force microscopy, and density functional theory calculations. The coupling products on Cu(111) exhibited certain configurations subject to the spatial restriction of robust two-fold Cu-N coordination bonds. Compared to the V-shaped 1,3-BPyB, the straight backbone of 1,4-BPyB helped to further reduce the variety of reactive products. By utilizing the three-fold coordination of Fe atoms with 1,4-BPyB molecules on Au(111), a large-scale network containing single products was constructed. Our results offer a promising protocol for controllable on-surface synthesis with the aid of robust coordination interactions.

Abstract
The integration of molecules with irregular shape into a long-range, dense and periodic lattice represents a unique challenge for the fabrication of engineered molecular scale architectures. The tiling of pentagonal molecules on a two-dimensional (2D) plane can be used as a proof-of-principle investigation to overcome this problem because basic geometry dictates that a 2D surface cannot be filled with a periodic arrangement of pentagons, a fundamental limitation that suggests that pentagonal molecules may not be suitable as building blocks for dense films. However, here we show that the 2D covalent organic framework (COF) known as COF-1 can direct the growth of pentagonal guest molecules as dense crystalline films at the solution/solid interface. We find that the pentagonal molecule corannulene adsorbs at two different sites on the COF-1 lattice, and that multiple molecules can adsorb into well-defined clusters patterned by the COF. Two types of these dense periodic packing motifs lead to a five-fold symmetry reduction compatible with translational symmetry, one of which gives an unprecedented high molecular density of 2.12 molecules/nm2.

Abstract
Multinuclear heterometallic nanoclusters with controllable stoichiometry and structure are anticipated to possess promising catalytic, magnetic, and optical properties. Heterometallic nanoclusters with precise stoichiometry of Bi3 Cu4 and Bi7 Cu12 can be stabilized in the scaffold of two-dimensional metal-organic networks on a Cu(111) surface through on-surface metallosupramolecular self-assembly processes. The atomic structures of the nanoclusters were resolved using scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations. The nanoclusters feature highly symmetric planar hexagonal shapes and core-shell charge modulation. The clusters are arranged as triangular lattices with a periodicity that can be tuned by choosing molecules of different size. This work shows that on-surface metallosupramolecular self-assembly creates unique possibilities for the design and synthesis of multinuclear heterometallic nanoclusters.

Abstract
Structural transformations of supramolecular systems triggered by external stimuli maintain great potential for application in the fabrication of molecular storage devices. Using combined ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations, we observed the surface adatom mediated structural transformation from 4,4''-dibromo- m-terphenyl (DMTP)-based halogen-bonded networks to DMTP-Cu(Ag) coordination networks on Cu(111) and Ag(111) at low temperatures. The halogen-bonded networks, which were formed on Cu(111) at 97 K and on Ag(111) at 93 K, consist of intact DMTP molecules stabilized by triple Br···Br bonds. The DMTP-Cu(Ag) coordination networks form on Cu(111) at 113 K and on Ag(111) at 103 K. They contain alternatingly arranged intact DMTP molecules and Cu(Ag) adatoms stabilized by weak C-Br···Cu(Ag) coordination bonds. Annealing the DMTP-Ag structure to 333 K leads to the initiation of C-Br bond scission. This observation suggests that the DMTP-Ag coordination network represents the intermediate phase ready for dehalogenation, which is the first step of the surface Ullmann reaction.

Abstract
We report the potential and concentration controlled assembly of an alkyl-substituted benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene (DDBDT) on an Au(111) electrode by in situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (ECSTM). It is found that a lamellar structure is formed at low concentrations, while herringbone-like and rhombus structures are obtained at high concentrations. In situ STM results reveal that herringbone-like and rhombus structures could transform into lamellar structures when the electrode potential is tuned negatively. A phase diagram is obtained to illustrate the relationship and effects of concentration and substrate potential on the interfacial structures of DDBDT. Both the substrate potential and the solute concentration can modulate the self-assembly structure through changing the molecular surface density. The results provide important insights into the understanding and precise control of molecular self-assembly on solid surfaces through a combination of different approaches.

Abstract
The self-assembly of star-shaped 1,3,5-tris(3,5-dibromophenyl)benzene molecules on Au(111)-() in a vacuum is investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy and core-level spectroscopy. Scanning tunneling microscopy shows that the molecules self-assemble into a hexagonal porous halogen-bonded nanoarchitecture. This structure is stabilized by X3-A synthons composed of three type-II halogen-interactions (halogen-bonds). The molecules are oriented along the same direction in this arrangement. Domain boundaries are observed in the hcp region of the herringbone gold surface reconstruction. Molecules of the neighboring domains are rotated by 180°. The domain boundaries are stabilized by the formation of X3-B synthons composed of two type-II and one type-I halogen-interactions between molecules of the neighboring domains. Core-level spectroscopy confirms the existence of two types of halogen-interactions in the organic layer. These observations show that the gold surface reconstructions can be exploited to modify the long-range supramolecular halogen-bonded self-assemblies.

Sun X, Wu KH, Sakamoto R, Kusamoto T, Maeda H, Ni X, Jiang W, Liu F, Sasaki S, Masunaga H, Nishihara H. Bis(aminothiolato)nickel nanosheet as a redox switch for conductivity and an electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction. Chem Sci 2017; 8:8078-8085. [PMID: 29568456 PMCID: PMC5855133 DOI: 10.1039/c7sc02688a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2017] [Accepted: 10/02/2017] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
A π-conjugated coordination nanosheet comprising bis(aminothiolato)nickel (NiAT) moieties was synthesized by the reaction of Ni(acac)2 with 1,3,5-triaminobenzene-2,4,6-trithiol at liquid-liquid and gas-liquid interfaces. The sheet thickness could be controlled down to a single layer (0.6 nm). Selected area electron diffraction and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction analyses indicated the formation of a flat crystalline sheet with a kagome lattice stacked in a staggered alignment. NiAT was reversibly interconverted to a bis(iminothiolato)nickel (NiIT) nanosheet by the chemical 2H+-2e- reaction, which was accompanied by a drastic change in electrical conductivity from 3 × 10-6 to 1 × 10-1 S cm-1. This change in conductivity was explained by the difference in band structures between NiAT and NiIT. NiAT acted as an efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction, showing strong acid durability and an onset overpotential of -0.15 V.

Abstract
This paper is derived from our concluding remarks presentation and the ensuing conversations at the Faraday Discussions meeting on Complex Molecular Surfaces and Interfaces, Sheffield, UK, 24th-26th July 2017. This meeting was comprised of sessions on understanding the interaction of molecules with surfaces and their subsequent organisation, reactivity or properties from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. This paper attempts to put these presentations in the wider context and focuses on topics that were debated during the meeting and where we feel that opportunities lie for the future development of this interdisciplinary research area.

Abstract
Designing metal-organic frameworks with new topologies is a long-standing quest because new topologies often accompany new properties and functions. Here we report that 1,3,5-tris[4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]benzene molecules coordinate with Cu atoms to form a two-dimensional framework in which Cu adatoms form a nanometer-scale demi-regular lattice. The lattice is articulated by perfectly arranged twofold and threefold pyridyl-Cu coordination motifs in a ratio of 1 : 6 and features local dodecagonal symmetry. This structure is thermodynamically robust and emerges solely when the molecular density is at a critical value. In comparison, we present three framework structures that consist of semi-regular and regular lattices of Cu atoms self-assembled out of 1,3,5-tris[4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]benzene and trispyridylbenzene molecules. Thus a family of regular, semi-regular and demi-regular lattices can be achieved by Cu-pyridyl coordination.

Abstract
The self-assembly behavior of a V-shaped bispyridine, 1,3-bi(4-pyridyl)benzene (BPyB), was studied by scanning tunneling microscopy on the (111) surfaces of Cu, Ag, and Au. BPyB molecules coordinately bonded with active Cu adatoms on Cu(111) in the form of complete polygonal rings at low coverages. On Ag(111), BPyB molecules aggregated into two-dimensional islands by relatively weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The coexistence of hydrogen bonds and coordination interaction was observed on the BPyB-covered Au(111) substrate. Density functional theory calculations of the metal-molecule binding energy and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to help understand the forming mechanism of molecular superstructures on the surfaces. In particular, the comprehensive orbital composition analysis interprets the observed metal-organic complexes and reveals the importance of relativistic effects for the extraordinary activity of gold adatoms. The relativistic effects cause the energy stability of the Au 6s atomic orbital and decrease the energy separation between the Au 6s and 5d orbitals. The enhanced sd hybridization strengthens the N-Au-N bond in BPyB-Au-BPyB complexes.

Abstract
In addition to the choices of metal atoms/molecular linkers and surfaces, several crucial parameters, including surface temperature, molecular stoichiometric ratio, electrical stimulation, concentration, and solvent effect for liquid/solid interfaces, have been demonstrated to play key roles in the formation of on-surface self-assembled supramolecular architectures. Moreover, self-assembled structural transformations frequently occur in response to a delicate control over those parameters, which, in most cases, involve either conversions from relatively weak interactions to stronger ones (e.g., hydrogen bonds to coordination bonds) or transformations between the comparable interactions (e.g., different coordination binding modes or hydrogen bonding configurations). However, intermolecular bond conversions from relatively strong coordination bonds to weak hydrogen bonds were rarely reported. Moreover, to our knowledge, a reversible conversion between hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds has not been demonstrated before. Herein, we have demonstrated a facile strategy for the regulation of stepwise intermolecular bond conversions from the metal-organic coordination bond (Cu-N) to the weak hydrogen bond (CH···N) by increasing the surface molecular coverage. From the DFT calculations we quantify that the loss in intermolecular interaction energy is compensated by the increased molecular adsorption energy at higher molecular coverage. Moreover, we achieved a reversible conversion from the weak hydrogen bond to the coordination bond by decreasing the surface molecular coverage.

Abstract
We present a comparative study, combining density functional theory with scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, of two aromatic molecules bonded with a variable number of Cu adatom(s) on a Cu(111) surface. The two molecules, 1,3,5-tris(pyridyl)benzene (TPyB) and 1,3,5-tris(4-radical-phenyl)benzene (TPB), possess the same aromatic backbone but bond weakly versus strongly to Cu with different terminal groups, respectively. We find that TPyB and TPB exhibit, respectively, small versus large charge transfers between the surface and the molecule; this contrast results in opposite shifts in the calculated density of states distributions and thus explains the opposite STS peak shifts observed in our experiments. The two molecules exhibit weak donor versus strong acceptor characters. This work provides a fundamental understanding, on a single-molecule level, of the principle that selecting specific functional groups can effectively and intentionally modify the molecular electronic properties in a wider class of molecule-metal interfaces.

Abstract
Since the discovery of graphene, two-dimensional materials with atomic thickness have attracted much attention because of their characteristic physical and chemical properties. Recently, coordination nanosheets (CONASHs) came into the world as new series of two-dimensional frameworks, which can show various functions based on metal complexes formed by numerous combinations of metal ions and ligands. This Feature Article provides an overview of recent progress in synthesizing CONASHs and in elucidating their intriguing electrical, sensing, and catalytic properties. We also review recent theoretical studies on the prediction of the unique electronic structures, magnetism, and catalytic ability of materials based on CONASHs. Future prospects for applying CONASHs to novel applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Zeolites represent inorganic solid-state materials with porous structures of fascinating complexity. Recently, significant progress was made by reticular synthesis of related organic solid-state materials, such as metal-organic or covalent organic frameworks. Herein we go a step further and report the first example of a fluid honeycomb mimicking a zeolitic framework. In this unique self-assembled liquid crystalline structure, transverse-lying π-conjugated rod-like molecules form pentagonal channels, encircling larger octagonal channels, a structural motif also found in some zeolites. Additional bundles of coaxial molecules penetrate the centres of the larger channels, unreachable by chains attached to the honeycomb framework. This creates a unique fluid hybrid structure combining positive and negative anisotropies, providing the potential for tuning the directionality of anisotropic optical, electrical and magnetic properties. This work also demonstrates a new approach to complex soft-matter self-assembly, by using frustration between space filling and the entropic penalty of chain extension. Zeolites with regular porous structures are widely used as gas adsorbents and scaffolding for catalysts. Poppe et al. report a liquid crystal with zeolite-like structure by self-assembly of polyphilic molecules with π-conjugated rod-like cores into a honeycomb formed by pentagonal/octagonal channels.

Abstract
We used porous supramolecular structures as templates to make two-dimensional (2D) superlattices of Bi nanoclusters on a Au(111) surface. First, we applied on-surface self-assembly to prepare 2D porous supramolecular structures containing well-ordered nanopores. Then, we deposited Bi atoms on the surface. The Bi atoms were confined in the supramolecular pores and formed nanoclusters of a critical size that is defined by the pore size. These nanoclusters were arranged as a 2D superlattice dictated by the structure of the supramolecular templates. The nanocluster size and superlattice periodicity can be adjusted by appropriately designing the supramolecular structures. We further studied the formation mechanism of the nanoclusters. We found that Bi atoms could diffuse across the pore boundaries at room temperature and nucleated as clusters inside the pores. The clusters grew until they reached the critical size and became stable. We used kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to reproduce the experimental results and quantified the interpore diffusion barrier to be 0.65 eV.

Abstract
Polymerization of 1,4-diaminonaphthalene on various Cu substrates resulting in stereoselectively well-defined metal-organic coordination polymers is reported. By using different crystallographic planes (111), (110) and (100) of a Cu substrate the structure of the resulting coordination polymer was controlled.

Abstract
The on-surface formation of organometallic monomers or oligomers, especially in supramolecular network, attracts an extensive interest for chemists and material scientist. In this work, we have investigated metal coordination between zinc (II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and 1, 3-di (4-pyridyl) propane (dipy-pra) in the 2, 6, 11-tricarboxydecyloxy-3, 7, 10-triundecyloxy triphenylene (asym-TTT) supramolecular template by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate under ambient conditions. The experimental results demonstrate that every two ZnPc molecules in one nano-reactor connect with each other through one dipy-pra molecule by metal-coordination interaction. In this coordinating process, the template of asym-TTT supramolecular networks plays a significant role.
