Modification of Graphite Surfaces for the Adsorption of Molecular Motors
Henrieke Heideman
[1] ‘’It would be very easy to make an analysis of any complicated chemical substance; all one would have to do would be to look at it and see where the atoms are.’’ – Richard Feynman (There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom). However, no SPM scientist will ever say that obtaining atomic resolution is easy.
[2] Standards of a PhD program vary at different universities, countries, and scientific areas. In order to get a universal valued title, PhD trajectories should at least be similar in period.
[3] Even with a sub-molecular resolution it is difficult to reveal the right assembly of a long flexible alkyl chain on graphite. – Chem. Commun. 2011, 47, 11255–11257and Chapter 3
[4] Admitting serendipities in research projects could make an important contribution to the understanding of complex two-dimensional supramolecular systems. – Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 7298 – 7332 and Chapter 5
[5] Having two common used abbreviations in literature, NTCDI and NDI, for the same molecule is already quite unnecessary and confusing. (For example - NTCDI; RSC Adv., 2014, 4, 25698-25708 and NDI; Chem. Rev. 2016, 116, 11685-11796) However, the use of both of them in the same book chapter must be avoided at all times. – Cua See, K. and Katz, H. E. Transparent Electronics (eds A. Facchetti and T. J. Marks), John Wiley & Sons, 2010, pp 403-415
[6] It is difficult to move a unidirectional molecular motor unidirectionally along a surface. – Nature 2011, 479, 208–211 and ACS Nano 2016, 10, 10945−10952
[7] A good promotor gives the PhD candidate enough freedom. The change to develop as an independent researcher is diminished by having weekly personal meetings up to the end of a PhD trajectory.
[8] Quota for hiring women are discriminating.
[9] Consuming meat on a daily basis should not be the standard.
[10] It should be socially accepted for women to greet friends and family with a handshake instead of kisses.
