Abstract
Spontaneous symmetry-breaking of a racemic mixture of supramolecular triginal prisms into chiral domains on a Au(111) surface is observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). High-resolution STM analysis enables the structural aspects of each enantiomeric domain to be elucidated. The ability to resolve chirality on achiral surfaces has potential applications in heterogeneous stereoselective synthesis and catalysis.
