Manipulating 2D metal-organic networks via ligand control.
High-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy has revealed how ligand control can be successfully employed to eliminate isomeric phases and defects in 2D coordination networks that are self-assembled at a surface support by replacing symmetric dicarboxylato linker ligands to dissymmetric carboxylpyridyl linker ligands.
