During the last two decades, there has been major effort toward metal phosphate chemistry due to their endearing properties and their potential for supramolecular assembly[1]. Crystal engineering is a relatively new field of chemical research used to control or predict types of metal phosphonate structure[1,5]. Surprisingly, the phosphonic acids have not been the subject of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to our knowledge so far. Here we report a very first STM studying of the benzene triphosphonic acid (BTP) [1,3,5-[(HO)2(O)P]3C6H3] dissolved in an alkanoic acid solvent (octanoic acid). The three-dimensional network formed by self-assembly of this triphosphonic acid on a HOPG(0001) substrate exhibits a ladder-like appearance and agrees very well with other crystallographic studies[2,4,5]. BTP in this structure adsorbed opposite to each other as viewed along an axis orthogonal to the plane defined by the aromatic rings. The brightest features in regular patterns should be reported phosphonic end- groups.
