We report the host-guest interaction in triphenylamine-based covalently-linked macrocycles and networks on Au(111) using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy in combination with density-functional theory. Triphenylamine precursors formed macrocycles and 2D networks featuring carbonyl- and hydrogen-functionalized pores, creating preferred adsorption sites for trimesic acid (TMA) and halogen atoms. TMA binds through hydrogen bonds to the carbonyl sites while halogens selectively adsorb between two carbonyl groups at Au hollow sites. Band structure calculations reveal that TMA adsorption reduces the electronic band gap of the triphenylamine covalent frameworks due to charge transfer, while the interaction of the halogens leads to a slight downshift of the bands.[1].
