As a typical molecule in the redox-active viologen family, dibenzyl-viologens (DBV) has been studied by means of EC-STM on a Cu(100) electrode. DBV2+ dications adsorb on a chloride modified Cu(100) electrode surface forming a laterally well ordered 2D array of supramolecular cavitand ensembles. Based on these observations we designed new molecules, such as dimetyl-DBV (DMDBV) and tetrametyl-DBV (TMDBV) in order to study in influence of extra substituents. So far, we found two redox peaks P1/P1’( P1 - 305 mV, P1’ -240 mV) in the cyclic voltammogram of Cu(100) in a mixture of 10mM HCl and 0,1mM DMDBV for values of Ework > - 420 mV vs RHE. STM images, show that DMDBV molecules form a stable and ordered adlayer structure which also looks like a chessboard with two kinds of mirror domains. When the applied potential is decreased to -400 mV, no obvious structural changes are visible.
