We are pioneering two and three dimensional supramolecular design techniques. We are deeply interested in electronic and mechanical properties at the molecular and nanometer scale.&nbsp; In addition, we have an interest in theoretical modeling of microscopic and spectroscopic results. Experimental techniques include Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Orbital Mediated Tunneling Spectroscopy (OMTS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Secondary Electron and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM and TEM), Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy (IETS), Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy, Ultra-violet, visible, and photo-electron spectroscopy (UV-Vis, XPS, and UPS). Materials of interest include transition metal complexes, and metalorganics such as phthalocyanines and porphyrins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-row crimson-back wsu-row--sidebar-left\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Contacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcallister.com\">McAllister Technical Services<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rhk-tech.com\">RHK: UHV AFM &amp; STM Maker<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsu.edu\/%7Enano\/\">Nanoscale Physical Chemistry<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/chem.wsu.edu\/hipps\/matsci-571-471\/\">MatSci<br>571 &amp; 471<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/1718\/2017\/08\/PosterInfo.zip\">Presenting<br>Scientific Posters<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/1718\/2017\/08\/CoverPict2.jpg\" alt=\"Supramolecular assembly of coronene and heptanoic acid.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Supramolecular assembly of coronene and heptanoic acid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/1718\/2017\/08\/everyone.jpg\" alt=\"Group of 10 people. \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Kipps research group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.wp.wsu.edu\/uploads\/sites\/1718\/2017\/08\/cocu-031.gif\" alt=\"STM Image of a Mixed Monolayer of Co(II) and Cu(II) Phthalocyanines.
