Structural analysis of ordered monolayers of the lander-type molecule DBP on Ag(100) via STM and LEED — •Timo Heepenstrick, Yifei Zhang, Ina Krieger, and Moritz Sokolowski — Institut für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie, Universität Bonn, Wegelerstraße 12, 53115 Bonn

We investigated the perylene derivate lander-type molecule DBP (dibenzotetraphenylperiflanthene). It consists of a stiff body and four rotatable phenyl groups on the edges. DBP has recently been used as an electron donor in organic solar cells [1]. We investigated the adsorption on the Ag(100) surface via STM and LEED at room temperature. From LEED images we found one incommensurate structure with a quadratic unit cell of 2.98 nm side length containing two molecules each. It exhibits a p4g symmetry with two symmetry equivalent rotation domains. The molecule forms large islands on the substrate, which can be observed by STM.
