High-quality 2D metal-organic coordination network providing giant cavities within mesoscale domains.
A surface-supported open metal-organic nanomesh featuring a 24 nm(2) cavity size and extending to mum domains was fabricated by Co-directed assembly of para-hexaphenyl-dicarbonitrile linker molecules in two dimensions. The metallosupramolecular lattice is thermally robust and resides fully commensurate on the employed Ag(111) substrate as directly verified by high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy observations.
