Abstract
- The formation of chiral nanostructures via molecular assembly and reaction on solid surfaces is a ubiquitous surface process due to the symmetry-breaking at 2D surface. Studying chirality during the adsorption, assembly, and reaction of molecules on 2D solid surfaces at molecular level not only sheds deep insights into the enantioselective heterogeneous catalysis, chiral recognition, origin and evolution of chirality, and many important physical chemistry processes but also provides an important strategy to create chiral nanostructures. Here, we give a survey of recent advances in chiral expression and control in molecular assemblies and reactions on surfaces. We firstly give a brief introduction to the general concepts of chiral molecular nanostructures on surfaces. And then we focus on the induction and control of chirality expressed in molecular assemblies. The recent developments in the control strategies such as chiral co-adsorber, chiral auxiliary, chiral solvent, chiral templated surfaces, as well as the underlying mechanism to achieve the chiral induction and amplification, are reviewed. After that, we review the studies of chirality expressed in on-surface synthesis which has been proved to be a promising strategy to fabricate covalently bonded low-dimensional nanostructures and materials. In this respect, we introduce the chiral expression in the intramolecular and intermolecular coupling reactions on surfaces. In addition, we survey the methods to steer the stereoselectivity of on-surface reactions including the design of precursor structure, steric hindrance effect, substrate, kinetic parameters et al. Finally, the future outlook in this field is discussed.
