The functionalization of surfaces by self-assembled monolayers is of great interest in nanoscience. We have introduced the so called platform approach, where molecular platforms of Triazatriangulenium (TATA) [1, 2, 3] ions are employed for attaching freestanding functional units to metal surfaces. These platforms provide a well-defined lateral and vertical molecular architecture and the steric demand is controlled by different alkyl side chains. Here, detailed STM studies on different adsorbate layers of TATA derivatives are presented. Specifically, we will discuss the structure of mixed adlayers consisting of two different TATA derivatives, one where the attached azobenzene is fully conjugated and one where it is isolated. We found that those TATA derivatives are perfectly mixable and randomly distributed on the Au(111) surface. Furthermore, we will present direct STM observations of the photoswitching in new azobenzene functionalized TATA adsorbate layers.This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft via SFB 677 "Function by switching".
