O 8: Focus Session Molecular Nanostructures on Surfaces: On-Surface Synthesis and Single-Molecule Manipulation I

Monday, March 17, 2025, 10:30–13:00, H24

This focus session aims to discuss recent advances in the on-surface synthesis, manipulation, characterization, and understanding of complex molecular architectures on surfaces. The interest in surface-confined molecular nanostructures emerges from their prospective applications in nanoscale (opto-) electronics, spintronics, solar cells, energy storage devices, and other fields. The bottom-up fabrication of surface-supported nanostructures can be based on molecular self-assembly utilizing non-covalent intermolecular interactions, covalent on-surface synthesis, or the direct manipulation of molecules. Molecular self-assembly usually leads to highly ordered nanostructures, controlled by non-covalent interactions, adsorbate-substrate interactions, as well as thermodynamic and kinetic factors. On-surface synthesis by covalent coupling of reactive precursors adsorbed on metallic, semiconducting, or even insulating surfaces has emerged as a powerful method that has opened new possibilities in exploring new routes towards the synthesis of complex low-dimensional nanostructures with unprecedented material properties, often via novel chemical reactions not available in conventional organic chemistry. Finally, the direct manipulation of molecules with the tip of a scanning probe microscope allows for unprecedented chemical transformations or structural modifications, as envisioned by the pioneers of nanotechnology. This focus session is intended to provide a platform for addressing current trends in these closely linked fields from various perspectives in experiment and theory.
