Patterned monolayers of neutral and charged functionalized manganese arene complexes on a highly ordered pyrolytic graphite surface.
Complex patterns: The arene manganese tricarbonyl complexes [Mn(eta(5)-2,5-didodecoxy-1,4-semiquinone)(CO)(3)] and [Mn(eta(6)-1,4-dioctyloxybenzene)(CO)(3)] BF(4) form patterned monolayers on the surface of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), as a result of hydrogen-bonding, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions, leading to an ordered 2D array of manganese atoms or ions.
