Abstract

Abstract : Truxenone on Cu (111) shows two packing motifs which exist at low and high coverage, and coexist at intermediate coverage. Abstract : The growth of monolayers of truxenone on Cu (111) is investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). Two distinct molecular packing motifs are observed that exist individually at low and high coverage, and coexist at intermediate states. In each case a commensurate epitaxial relationship between the molecular surface mesh and the substrate is observed.
