Article Abstract
The on-surface dimerization into bis(hexahelicene) on a gold(111) surface has been studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy and time-of-flight secondary mass spectrometry. C-C Ullmann coupling of (rac)-2-bromo-hexahelicene leads to formation of the (M,M)- and (P,P)-diastereomers of 2,2'-bis(hexahelicene), whilst formation of the (M,P)-diastereomer is not observed. Upon cooling, the bis(hexahelicene) aggregates into an ordered two-dimensional lattice with partly randomly distributed enantiomers. The highly specific diastereomeric coupling is explained by the surface alignment of educt in combination with the strong steric overcrowding in a possible surface-confined (M,P)-product.

Microbial extracellular alkaline phosphatase (ALP) plays a significant role in marine phosphorus cycle. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to accurately and rapidly measure ALP activity (APA) in seawater. However, the applications of the existing APA measurement methods are constrained by cumbersome pre-processing, lengthy measurement times, and the influence of colored substances or suspended particles in seawater samples, which limit our accurate understanding of the marine phosphorus cycle.

ConspectusIn this Account, we will focus on how chemoselective strategies were employed for the controlled synthesis of organic multilayers on silicon, thus forming well-defined semiconductor-organic interfaces. We will start with the chemoselective [2 + 2] cycloaddition of functionalized cyclooctynes to Si-Si dimers which was used as the key step for the surface-orthogonal first layer attachment of bifunctional organic molecules to the Si(001) surface. It results in well-ordered monolayers of bifunctional molecules on the highly reactive Si(001) surface, which serve as a starting point for the further layer-by-layer growth.

The incorporation of heterogeneous nodes can significantly enhance the catalytic and optoelectronic properties of metal-organic networks (MONs) because of the resulting uneven charge distribution and unique metal centers. On-surface synthesis (OSS) has emerged as a powerful strategy for constructing advanced MONs with heterogeneous metal-organic nodes. Herein, we report the fabrication of an MON featuring N-Ag-C heterogeneous nodes, achieved via thermally induced sequential N-OH and C-H activation on Ag(100).

Accurate and sensitive detection of amyloid-β oligomer (AβO) is essential for understanding the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, an ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensing platform was developed by integrating photoelectrically active porphyrin-based covalent organic frameworks with Fe single-atom catalysts (Fe SACs) to enhance PEC signal. The Fe SACs demonstrate remarkable peroxidase-like activity, enabling them to oxidize 4-chloro-1-naphthol (4-CN) to generate insoluble 4-chloro-1-naphthol dimer (4-CD) precipitation on the photoelectrode surface.

The design and control of atomic-scale spin structures constitute major challenges for spin-based quantum technology platforms, including quantum dots, color centers, and molecular spins. Here, we showcase a strategy for designing the quantum properties of molecular spin qubits by combining tip-assisted on-surface assembly with electron spin resonance scanning tunneling microscopy (ESR-STM): We fabricate magnetic dimer complexes that consist of an iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecule and an organometallic half-sandwich complex formed by the FePc ligand and an attached iron atom, Fe(CH). The total complex forms a mixed-spin (1/2,1) quantum ferrimagnet with a well-separated correlated ground state doublet, which we utilize for coherent control.
