title: Fabrication of chiral networks for a tri-substituted anthraquinone derivative using molecular self-assembly.
abstract: Chiral structures are recorded, with the adsorption of an achiral anthraquinone derivative and co-adsorption of achiral solvent on an achiral surface. Dimer, trimer and tetramer aggregations are observed while only the tetramer-dimer combination constructs the whole monolayer, and the formation mechanism is explained from the thermodynamic and kinetic viewpoints.
