Characterisation and Interpretation of On‐Surface Chemical Reactions Studied by Ultra‐High‐Resolution Scanning Probe Microscopy (2021)
Book Chapter
Sweetman, A., Champness, N. R., & Saywell, A. (2022). Characterisation and Interpretation of On‐Surface Chemical Reactions Studied by Ultra‐High‐Resolution Scanning Probe Microscopy. In N. Champness (Ed.), Supramolecular Chemistry on Surfaces: 2D Networks and 2D Structures (9-42). Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9783527816699.ch2

The investigation of supramolecular self-assembly at surfaces requires detailed characterisation at the molecular or even sub-molecular level. The primary technique that has been employed to ensure a detailed understanding of self-assembled structure...

Self-assembly of a strapped linear porphyrin oligomer on HOPG (2021)
Journal Article
Bellamy-Carter, A., Roche, C., Anderson, H. L., & Saywell, A. (2021). Self-assembly of a strapped linear porphyrin oligomer on HOPG. Scientific Reports, 11, Article 20388. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-99881-x

Polymeric structures based on porphyrin units exhibit a range of complex properties, such as nanoscale charge transport and quantum interference effects, and have the potential to act as biomimetic materials for light-harvesting and catalysis. These... Read More about Self-assembly of a strapped linear porphyrin oligomer on HOPG.

Chemical shielding of H2O and HF encapsulated inside a C60 cage (2021)
Journal Article
Jarvis, S. P., Sang, H., Junqueira, F., Gordon, O., Hodgkinson, J. E. A., Saywell, A., Rahe, P., Mamone, S., Taylor, S., Sweetman, A., Leaf, J., Duncan, D. A., Lee, T. L., Thakur, P. K., Hoffman, G., Whitby, R. J., Levitt, M. H., Held, G., Kantorovich, L., Moriarty, P., & Jones, R. G. (2021). Chemical shielding of H2O and HF encapsulated inside a C60 cage. Communications Chemistry, 4(1), Article 135. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42004-021-00569-0

Molecular surgery provides the opportunity to study relatively large molecules encapsulated within a fullerene cage. Here we determine the location of an H2O molecule isolated within an adsorbed buckminsterfullerene cage, and compare this to the intr...
