Abstract:
The two-dimensional self-assembly of rufigallol derivatives and their metal coordination were studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy. Ex situ Cu(II)-coordinated rufigallol derivatives exhibited columnar structures with some defects, whereas regular and linear structures were formed upon in situ metal coordination at solid/liquid interfaces.
