Abstract: | Developing useful molecular systems, such as planar networks for novel molecular electronics, requires the ability to control the way molecules assemble at surfaces. Here we report how an oxide crystal surface can be used as a template to controllably order endohedral fullerenes, Er3N@C80, into two-dimensional (2D) open-grid arrays. The crystal surface is made of highly ordered oxide nanostructures which self-assemble on the surface of SrTiO3(001). This method of molecular ordering can be applied to other fullerenes and has the potential to provide a basis for developing a wide range of molecular architectures. |
