Switching a molecule between different metastable states is interesting with regard to future applications in the field of molecular electronics.
We used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at temperature around 5K to study the switching behavior of individual tripodal organic molecules with a Tetraphanylmethane or a Triazine core within islands of different controlled order.
The molecules with different cores are three-dimensional or planar. They were deposited with a spraying and/or evaporation method on clean Au(111) surfaces. We were able to induce switching processes which allowed us to study the correlation of the switching behavior of neighboring molecules in threefold symmetric arrangement.
