Molecular self-assembly is a key concept in supramolecular chemistry and nanoscience allowing for the construction of complex molecular architectures in a bottom-up approach through noncovalent interactions. The adsorption, chemical nature, and self-assembly of diaminotriazinyl- and carboxyl-substituted triphenylamines with dimethylmethylene bridges were studied on Au(111) and Cu(111) at submonolayer coverage by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations.[1] While the self-assemblies on Au(111) are strongly directed by intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions, on Cu(111) both molecules aggregate in dense islands owing to the stronger molecule-surface interaction. The carboxyl substituents partially deprotonate at room temperature on Cu(111). The diaminotriazinyl-substituted triphenylamines adsorb mainly intact at room temperature and deprotonate gradually at increased adsorption temperatures changing the bonding mechanism from hydrogen bonding to metal-ligand interactions.
