Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...

Cubene and quadricyclene are descended from cubane and quadricylane, both cage-shaped structures with bonds that are fairly ...

Molecular dynamics simulations have emerged as a powerful tool for elucidating the structure and dynamics of semifluorinated alkanes (SFAs) at various interfaces. Owing to their unique diblock nature, ...

This article discusses AFM studies of self-assembled semi-fluorinated alkanes on Silicon, HOPG, and MoS 2 substrates. Covalently linked sequences of -CF 2 - and -CH 2 - groups with -CF 3 and -CH 3 - ...

This study is led by Dr. Junyang Liu and Prof. Wenjing Hong from Xiamen University. The molecular synthesis is done by Prof. Zhong-Ning Chen (State Key Laboratory of Structural Chemistry, Fujian ...
