title: Direct observation of the influence of chirality on the microstructure of regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophene)s at the liquid/solid interface.
abstract: The degree of order of poly(3-alkylthiophene)s on atomically flat surfaces is strongly influenced by interchain interactions. Regularly ordered, disordered and amorphous microstructures are observed for achiral, homochiral and meso poly(3-alkylthiophene)s, respectively, as revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy.
