Abstract

AbstractThe aggregation of (pro)chiral/achiral molecules into crystalline structures at interfaces forms conglomerates, racemates, and solid solutions, comparable to known bulk phases. Scanning tunneling microscopy and Monte Carlo simulations were employed to uncover a distinct racemic phase, expressing 1D disordered chiral sorting through random tiling in surface‐confined supramolecularly assembled achiral 4,4′′‐diethynyl‐1,1′:4′,1′′‐terphenyl molecules. The configurational entropy of the 1D disordered racemic tiling phase was verified by analytical modeling, and found to lie between that of a perfectly ordered 2D racemate and a racemic solid solution.
