Molecular networks: Chiral and metallized Salen molecules on a Cu(111) are investigated using local probe techniques (see figure). Whereas for the parent Co‐Salen molecule no self‐assembly is observed, in the metal–organic complexes the growth of large and regular molecular networks is achieved through a target‐oriented synthetic design of the local electrostatic dipolar molecular fields.
