| Zusammenfassung: | Understanding the molecular self-assembly behavior, especially at the microscopic level, sheds light on the rational design of artificial supramolecular systems at surfaces. In this work, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and force field simulations were utilized to explore two molecular systems where two and four carboxyl groups are symmetrically modified onto a skeleton. The two target molecules are 4,4'-(ethyne-1,2-diyl) dibenzoic acid (EBA) and 1,1'-ethynebenzene-3,3',5,5,'-tetracarboxylic acid (TCA). The former molecular assembly led to robust close packing, whereas the latter resulted in low-density arrangements that present significant adaption, namely, undergoing phase transformations upon external stimulations, e.g., sensitive to STM-polarity switching and guest molecule incorporations |
