Olympicene Molecule Imaged With Atomic Force Microscopy

Posted June 01, 2012 8:32 AM

From Microscopy and Analysis -:

European researchers have imaged an Olympic-themed five-ring molecule at unprecedented resolutions using non-contact atomic force microscopy. Known as 'Olympicene', the graphene-related molecule was synthesised by chemists at the Royal Society of Chemistry and Warwick University. Consisting of 19 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms, the researchers first used scanning tunnelling microscope to image the molecule but could only resolve the molecule's trapezoidal shape.
