Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Manuel Souto and co-workers at the University of Aveiro and CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials. The image depicts the direct C-H arylation of dithiophene-tetrathiafulvalene (DT-TTF) and the self-assembly of DT-TTF-tetrabenzoic acid studied by using scanning tunnelling microscopy.
