Notes

  1. 1.

    The synthesis was performed by the group of Prof. M. Fridkin, Department of Organic Chemistry, Weizmann Institute.

  2. 2.

    The helicity is defined for particles with momentum p and spin s as the expectation value of \( \frac{{s \cdot p}}{{\left| {s \cdot p} \right|}} \).

  3. 3.

    For a gold foil of area A=20 mm2 and number of molecules per cm2 \( N = 1.1 \times {10^{13}}\; \)adsorbed on both sides of the foil, and with a magnetic moment of \( 4 \times {10^{ - 6}}{\text{emu}} \) at 1 T, the magnetic moment per molecule is

    \( = \frac{{4 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} {\text{emu}}}}{{2 \times (1.1 \times {{10}^{13}})(0.2)\,\,{\text{molecules}}}} \) \( = 9.09 \times {10^{ - 19}}{\text{emu}}/{\text{molecules}} \) \( = 98\,{\mu_B}/{\text{molecule}} \).

  4. 4.

    The density of the molecules in the monolayer (n=1.4×1013 molecules/cm2) is equivalent to concentration of 7.3×10−2 mol/L. For DNA composed from 15 bases the molar extinction coefficient at λ=260 nm, where the DNA has maximum absorption, is \( \varepsilon = {122}{.2} \times {1}{{0}^3} \) \( {{\text{L}} \left/ {{{\text{mol}}\;{\text{cm}}}} \right.} \) and for a path length \( \ell \)=Monolayer thickness=3.2 nm, the absorbance \( A = - \log {{{(I}} \left/ {{{I_0})}} \right.} = \varepsilon \ell c = {28405}{.1} \times {1}{{0}^{ - {7}}} \) therefore the amount of light absorbed \( \frac{{{I_0} - I}}{{{I_0}}} \le 1\% \).
