The on-surface self-assembly of molecules is a promising approach to control the properties of resulting 2D lattices.
Usually, planar molecules are utilized to prepare flat, structurally confined molecular layers, with only a few recent examples of warped precursors [1,2].
However, detailed control of the superstructures is limited thus far.
Herein, we report the temperature-controlled self-assembly of a bowl-shaped,
acetylated C3-symmetric hexaphenyltribenzotriquinacene derivative on Cu(111).
Combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT)
confirms the formation of highly differing arrangements starting with π-stacked bowl-to-bowl dimers
at low coverage at room temperature via chiral honeycomb structures, an intermediate trigonal superstructure,
followed by a fully carbon-based, flattened hexagonal superstructure formed by on-surface deacetylation,
which is proposed as a precursor for holey graphene networks with unique defect structures [3].
