The structure of the Si/Ag(001)-(3x3) surface has been unveiled w/ high-res STM and DFT, SXRD and ARPES simulations: a structure of Si double-pentagon chains in a Si/Ag surface alloy. New paper @NatureComms. @CNR_ISM of @CNRsocial_ @cnrs @Cinam_marseille doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

So happy to see that our STM data have been highlighted as Results of the Month by @scienta_omicron Thanks again to all collaborators @BonifaziGroup @HoganConor @Luca62353940 @CNRsocial_ @fisicaunitov @unitorvergata

Me to myself after reading the reviewer reports on my article manuscript

@BonifaziGroup Sadly missed! But thanks for picking up the bill :)

@HoganConor Ehi, and us?

Out in JACS Au: On-Surface Molecular Recognition Driven by Chalcogen Bonding. Fruit of an excellent collaboration in which we demonstrate that molecular dimers formed on a Au surface (hence journal choice) are bound together solely by chalcogen bonding! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Nearly forgot - some of the Rome-based authors celebrating the article publication over a fine lunch! We selected a vino rosato because chalcogens are slightly pink, apparently

Now that ChB has been demonstrated as a feasible option for on-surface supramolecular self-assembly, the idea is to extend it to form larger, polymeric/nanostructured assemblies. Onward and upward! All details open access at JACS Au doi.org/10.1021/jacsau… #compchem #DFT #STM

@dwmal1 @cronanmcnamara @TodaywithClaire @RTEOne Very interesting Dave, good job!

@cronanmcnamara @TodaywithClaire @RTEOne I think this should be it: rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

I got to visit @TodaywithClaire on Thursday and talk about calendars and clocks. I can't have been too confusing, because the piece made it to Playback on @RTEOne, though they recommended that you'd had a coffee before hand :-) (I also got a picture of the broadcast clock!)

@fabioaffinito Read a book!

New in @angew_chem: N-Heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) form ordered monolayers on silicon! A collaboration between @HoganConor (@CNR_ISM, theory), Dahne/Franz/Esser (@TUBerlin, isas_Leibniz, surface physics) and @DasMowpriya/@GloriusGroup (organic chemistry). tinyl.io/9fZJ
