When aromatic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are electron-irradiated, intermolecular cross-linking leads to the formation of Carbon Nano Membranes (CNM) with molecular thickness [1]. The preparation of SAMs requires clean surface conditions for the formation of well-defined molecular structures as well as for the analysis via scanning probe techniques. However, thermal evaporation under UHV conditions may lead to the fragmentation of molecules during the sublimation while the formation of wet-prepared SAMs may suffer from polluting adsorbates on the bare surface. Here we present the study of biphenylthiols on Au(111), prepared by Electrospray Ionization (ESI). ESI allows for the introduction of organic molecules in vacuum under controlled conditions on atomically clean surfaces and was successfully applied in previous experiments [2]. The molecular deposition on the surface is investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and nc-atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) combined with Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM).
