2D nanopatterns of shape-persistent molecular polygons on HOPG — •Stefan-S. Jester, Nina Schönfelder, Eva Sigmund, and Sigurd Höger — Universität Bonn, Kekulé-Institut für Organische Chemie und Biochemie, Gerhard-Domagk-Str. 1, 53121 Bonn, Germany

Shape-persistent organic molecules with flexible side chains self-assemble at the solution/solid interface to form 2D nanoarchitectures. Scanning tunneling microscopy yields a submolecularly resolved insight into the adsorbate structures. A key issue is how the shape and symmetry of the backbones and their alkyl chain substitution pattern determine the shape and symmetry of the adsorbate patterns. Recently we focused on molecular polygons (triangles, squares, pentagons, and hexagons) with dithiophene corners and phenylene-alkynylene sides.[1] In my talk I will give insight into the relation between Archimedean surface patterns and supramolecular 2D adlayers.
