The structure of the Si/Ag(001)-(3x3) surface has been unveiled w/ high-res STM and DFT, SXRD and ARPES simulations: a structure of Si double-pentagon chains in a Si/Ag surface alloy.
New paper @NatureComms.

Out in JACS Au: On-Surface Molecular Recognition Driven by Chalcogen Bonding. Fruit of an excellent collaboration in which we demonstrate that molecular dimers formed on a Au surface (hence journal choice) are bound together solely by chalcogen bonding! https://t.co/fCULs1mDb7
Nearly forgot - some of the Rome-based authors celebrating the article publication over a fine lunch! We selected a vino rosato because chalcogens are slightly pink, apparently
Now that ChB has been demonstrated as a feasible option for on-surface supramolecular self-assembly, the idea is to extend it to form larger, polymeric/nanostructured assemblies. Onward and upward! All details open access at JACS Au https://t.co/ekHJK5wB3P

Spain has sherry. Portugal has port. France has wine. Germany and Belgium have beer. England has gin. Ireland and Scotland have whisky.
Italy has�� limoncello? Bit underwhelming, no?
New in @angew_chem: N-Heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) form ordered monolayers on silicon!
