Growth of long, highly stable, and densely packed worm-like nanocolumns of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes via chemisorption on Au(111)

J Am Chem Soc. 2009 Feb 4;131(4):1378-9. doi: 10.1021/ja808752b.

Abstract

Long, highly stable, and densely packed edge-on nanocolumns of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes spontaneously grow from solution as self-assembled monolayers chemisorbed on gold.
