Abstract

The co-adsorption of trinitrotoluene (TNT), a typical π-electron acceptor, and triphenylene (TP), a typical π-electron donor, on a Au(111) surface was investigated by in situ Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (ECSTM). DFT calculations proved that parallelly stacked and well-overlapped TP and TNT molecules can form Donor–Acceptor dyads through intermolecular π–π charge transfer, which agree well with the experimental results in the present work.
