Molecular networks: Chiral and metallized Salen molecules on a Cu(111) are investigated using local probe techniques (see figure). Whereas for the parent Co-Salen molecule no self-assembly is observed, in the metal–organic complexes the growth of large and regular molecular networks is achieved through a target-oriented synthetic design of the local electrostatic dipolar molecular fields.
