Three-dimensional hydrogen bonding between Landers and planar molecules facilitated by electrostatic interactions with Ni adatoms

Abstract

Using a combination of UHV-STM and molecular mechanics calculations, we investigate the surface self-assembly of a complex multi-component metal-molecule system with synergistic non-covalent interactions. Hydrogen bonding between three-dimensional Lander-DAT molecules and planar PTCDI molecules, adsorbed closer to the surface, is found to be facilitated by electrostatic interactions between co-adsorbed Ni adatoms and the flexible molecular DAT groups.
