title: The formation of right-handed and left-handed chiral nanopores within a single domain during amino acid self-assembly on Au(111).
abstract: We report the formation of both right- and left-handed chiral nanopores within a single domain during the self-assembly of an amino acid derivative on an inert Au(111) surface using STM. DFT calculations employed to rationalize this unusual result identified that intermolecular interactions between chiral, windmill-shaped tetramers are crucial for self-assembly.
