(a) Structure of a [Pt2(dta)4I]n (dta=dithioacetato) single fibre. (b,c,d) AFM images of nanoribbons on a SiO2 substrate where the straightness and height homogeneity can be appreciated. The inset in d is a profile acquired on the green line of the corresponding image, where the cross-section of the ribbons can be determined. Typical dimensions of the nanoribbons are 10 μm × 100 nm × 20 nm. Scale bars, 8, 4 and 0.1 μm (for b, c and d, respectively).
