Architectures with aromatic units aligned perpendicularly to the graphite surface are rarely observed but may become of interest when functionalization towards the volume phase is desired. Recently, our group reported on a convenient synthesis of complex phenyl substituted p-phenylene oligomers without the need of common transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions requiring complex protective group strategies. Based on these oligophenylenes, bicyclic components are obtained in very good yields. As confirmed by state-of-the-art DFT calculations, the molecules have a planar bicyclic unit with a perpendicular center which seems to be a promising structural unit to reach the purpose of three-dimensional growth on surfaces. Self-assembled monolayers of the bicyclophanes at the solid/liquid interface of 1-phenyloctane and HOPG are visualized by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). [1] G. Ohlendorf, C. W. Mahler, S.-S.
