Enantiomorphous monolayers of enantiopure formamides form on a graphite surface, while the racemic compound does not undergo a spontaneous resolution under similar conditions. This difference in the two-dimensional behavior has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (see image of the racemate
Compounds 1 and 2 were prepared according to the published method. [15] The STM images were acquired in the variable current mode (constant height) under ambient conditions with the tip immersed in the liquid. For details see ref. [9].
A completely general two-dimensional 2D methodology for the classical simulation of reactive and nonreactive events on ab initio potential energy surfaces is introduced and tested. The methodology requires the minimum amount of information given a priori-geometries and energies at these geometries.
