title: Study on molecular cavity of oligoamide macrocycles by using scanning tunneling microscopy.
abstract: The molecular structures and assembly structures of aromatic oligoamide macrocycles are identified by using scanning tunneling microscopy at liquid/solid interface, which shows persistent shapes, tunable cavity sizes, and binding of water molecules.
