The 2D self-assembly of 1,3,5-triethynyl-benzene (TEB) and de novo synthesized 1,3,5-tris-(4-ethynylphenyl)benzene (Ext-TEB) on Ag(111) was studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Both molecules form nanoporous networks exhibiting organizational chirality, mediated by novel, planar six-fold cyclic binding motifs. Comparison with bulk structures of similar molecules suggests that these motifs appear only in 2D environments. The key interaction is identified as C–H⋯π bonding. For Ext-TEB an additional open-porous phase exists. The nature of the underlying non-covalent bonding schemes is analyzed by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Comparison of the calculations focusing on isolated 2D molecular sheets and those including the substrate reveals the delicate balance between molecule-molecule and molecule-substrate interactions.
