Abstract

The native copper adatoms get trapped in a self-assembled molecular nanostructure which is mainly formed by the intermolecular van der Waals interactions, and two dominating specific binding modes between the adatoms and the molecules are revealed at the atomic scale by high-resolution STM imaging.
