Self-assembly of pyrene derivatives on Au(111): substituent effects on intermolecular interactions†
Abstract
The adsorption behaviour as well as the influence of bromine substituents on the formation of highly-ordered two-dimensional structures of pyrene derivatives on Au(111) are studied by a combination of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
