Abstract

There is a growing interest in chirality at surfaces from both a fundamental and an enantioselective reactions/separations viewpoint. We report on the homochiral self-assembly of asymmetric thioethers that become chiral upon binding to a surface. We focus on the adsorption of butyl methyl sulfide and a fluorinated analogue on Au(111) surfaces.
