Fivefold versus twofold: Symmetry‐breaking interactions in the monolayer of the buckybowl corannulene on Cu(110) lead to the formation of extended mirror domains (see picture). The molecules are adsorbed in a tilted geometry with the bowl opening pointing away from the surface.
Fünffach gegen zweifach: Symmetriefehlanpassung führt zur spontanen Bildung von chiralen Domänen in Monoschichten von Corannulen auf einer Cu(110)‐Oberfläche. Die korbförmigen Moleküle nehmen eine verkippte Anordnung ein, wobei die Öffnung von der Oberfläche weg zeigt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
