On the dot: The title nanodots (NDs), including MoS2, WS2, ReS2, TaS2, MoSe2, WSe2, and NbSe2, are prepared from their bulk crystals by using a combination of grinding and sonication techniques. The synthesized nanodots, mixed with polyvinylpyrrolidone, are used as active layers for fabrication of memory devices having a nonvolatile memory effect. TMD=transition-metal dichalcogenides.

On the surface: By combining high-resolution UHV-STM imaging and DFT calculations, the homocoupling of terminal alkenes on copper surfaces is reported. A diene compound is formed with an appreciably high yield on the Cu(110) surface.

Functionalization of Liquid-Exfoliated Two-Dimensional 2H-MoS2
JorisMunninghoffFunctionalization of multilayer exfoliated MoS2 using metal acetates

Surface modification: Functionalization of liquid-exfoliated, defect-free, layered 2H-MoS2 was achieved through coordination of metal carboxylate salts by basal-plane sulfur atoms. The surface-coordinated metal center acts as an anchor for ligating organic functionalities. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) provides strong evidence for the coordination of MoS2 surface sulfur atoms to the M(OAc)2 salt (see picture).

Design of Aromatic Helical Polymers for STM Visualization: Imaging of Single and Double Helices with a Pattern of π–π Stacking
JorisMunninghoffSTM on helical polymers at the solid/air interface

Seeing is believing: STM imaging of rationally designed helical polymers with a pattern of π–π stacking of the helical structures revealed single- and double-helical superstructures (see picture), including the smallest helical architecture observed to date, with a diameter of approximately 1.3 nm. The interconversion of single and double helices was further underpinned by experimental analyses.
