Adsorption and reversible conformational change of a thiophene based molecule on Au(111)

Abstract We present a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope investigation of a prochiral thiophene-based molecule that self-assembles forming islands with different domains on the Au(111) surface. In the domains, two different conformations of the single molecule are observed, depending on a...
