Epitaxial ordering of a perylenetetracarboxylic diimide-melamine supramolecular network driven by the Au(111)-(22x root 3) reconstruction

| Summary: | Substrate mediated ordering and intermolecular interactions are used to create a long-range supramolecular network of perylenetetracarboxylic diimide and melamine on a reconstructed Au (111) - (22×3) surface. Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals that the network is composed of a succession of double width honeycomb cell rows separated by a more closely packed row of parallelograms. This periodicity of the supramolecular configuration matches that of the reconstructed gold substrate allowing an epitaxial relationship between network and substrate reconstruction. © 2008 American Institute of Physics. |
