Self-assembly of s-indacene-tetrone on Cu(111): molecular trapping and patterning of Cu adatoms

Abstract

The supramolecular self-assembly of s-indacene-1,3,5,7(2H,6H)-tetrone on the Cu(111) surface was investigated in ultrahigh vacuum by room-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy supported by theoretical modelling based on the density functional theory. In...
