12. 1-Octanol was chosen as the solvent because of its low evaporation rate, even at elevated temperatures, and because of the good solubility of U2Tn in 1-octanol.

19. On mica, the same adsorption method was used as that to obtain thin layers on HOPG. After solvent removal monolayer features corresponding to the ones shown in Figure 3b were identified by TM-AFM.
