Abstract
The study of supramolecular structures on curved surfaces, such as, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT), is an undeveloped area in surface science. It has been confirmed that the supramolecular structures are sensitive to the chirality of SWNT beneath them. By utilizing this finding, the SWNT absolute-handedness chirality was experimentally investigated by scanning tunneling microscopic images of supramolecular structures of porphyrin derivatives for the first time. Two opposite chiral supramolecular structures were observed based on the SWNT enantiomers handedness chirality. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. I. A. Abd El-Mageed, T. Ogawa et al. on page 1941.
