Abstract
Supramolecular glue: One-dimensional copper–pyridyl coordination chains on a Cu(100) surface are stabilized and ordered by dicarboxylic ligands through hydrogen-bonding interactions. This hierarchical bonding motif demonstrates a strategy for developing complex, yet well-ordered, supramolecular surface structures by self-assembly, such as these stable islands (see picture) with a one-dimensional coordination character.
