Abstract

Abstract: Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Gwénaël Rapenne and Claire Kammerer from CEMES‐CNRS at University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France. The cover image shows the use of scorpionates to anchor nanomachines on metal surfaces for mechanical applications such as unidirectional rotation (for motors) or power transmission (for gears). Abstract : The originality of our contribution lies in the design and synthesis of molecules that are deposited by sublimation under ultrahigh vacuum on various surfaces at very low temperature… Read more about the story behind the cover in the Cover Profile and about the research itself onp. 2214 ff .
