title: Stepwise assembly of coordination-based metal-organic networks.
abstract: Metal-organic networks (MONs) were created by a stepwise solution deposition approach from vinylpyridine-based building blocks and PdCl(2). The combined experimental and computational study demonstrates the formation of saturated, structurally organized systems on solid supports. The rigid nature and geometry of the components are well-suited to form honeycomb and parallelogram structures, as predicted by a computational study. Detailed structural information of the new MONs was obtained by optical (UV/vis) spectroscopy, ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and synchrotron X-ray reflectivity (XRR). Notably, the XPS elemental composition indicates the formation of a palladium coordination-based network.
