Chiral Kagome Network from Thiacalix[4]arene Tetrasulfonate at the Interface of Aqueous Solution/Au(111) Surface: An in Situ Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Study

摘要

A Kagome lattice, also known as trihexagonal tiling in mathematics, represents a periodic arrangement of interlaced triangles such that each point where two triangles cross has four neighboring points. This pattern initially attracted attention in the area of magnetism for its relevance in the field of spin-frustrated magnetic materials. Recently, the Kagome network is also finding interest in the area of two-dimensional (2D) molecular self-assembly.
