The combination of different types of molecular building blocks provides a wide range of possibilities for the hierarchic construction of molecular networks on metallic surfaces via self-assembly. We present a UHV, low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy study of the formation of multi-molecular networks constructed with two different bonding schemes.
After deposition of the two building blocks, namely dicarbonitrile polyphenyl (A) and diphenyl oxalic amide (B), at room temperature onto Ag(111), hydrogen-bonded networks formed by molecular self-assembly can be observed. The shape of the molecular networks depends on coverage and stoichiometry.
By tuning the growth conditions highly regular molecular networks can be achieved providing rhombic cavities of an approximate size of 8 nm2. The elementary binding motif features a hydrogen bond from a carbonitrile group of molecule A to the amine group of molecule B. This type of hydrogen bond has not been observed so far for surface confined self-assembly.
