Structural analysis of helicene molecules adsorbed on symmetric surfaces
Literature Information
Emilian Tuca, Irina Paci
Helicenes are chiral polyaromatic hydrocarbon molecules which self-assemble into ordered monolayers on solid substrates, and are of current interest in the study of supramolecular systems and the development of smart materials. In this work we investigate the geometry of helicene monomers and stacked dimers on (111) facets of coinage metals. The geometry of the adsorbed molecules is shaped by the coupling of intermolecular dispersive forces, intramolecular steric repulsion between end rings and surface-molecule interactions. Thus, binding and stereospecificity outcomes vary broadly depending on the identity of molecule/surface pair. Overall, homochiral interactions are found to be more effective than heterochiral stacking, due to a better fit between the helical structures in like dimers. On a surface, this effect is enhanced by the flattening of surface-proximal molecular rings. However, our results show that the “sandwich” effect of the second molecular layer increases molecular footprints in the first layer, with potentially large implications in monolayer organization and surface commensuration.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
