2D-supramolecular arrangements of dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether and its inclusion complex with potassium ion by potential controlled adsorption.
The construction of self-organized adlayers of dibenzo-18-crown-6 and its inclusion complex with potassium ion on a Au(111) surface was independently achieved by potential-controlled adsorption. Highly-ordered adlayers both for the metal-free state and the complex were visualized by in-situ STM with sub-molecular visualization. The potassium ions in the complex were also clearly visualized.
