title: Single layer of polymeric Fe-phthalocyanine: an organometallic sheet on metal and thin insulating film.
abstract: Supramolecular chemistry on a surface has produced a large variety of atomically controlled systems, but practical applications are seriously restricted by the use of weakly cohesive non-covalent bonds and by the confinement to a metal surface. Here we report on the formation of a well-ordered organometallic sheet consisting of two-dimensional polymeric phthalocyanine. Remarkably, the growth demonstrated on a metal surface can be extended onto a thin insulating film. We thus expect the intrinsic properties to be preserved, and the system should be easily transferable to real devices.
