Calculated and structural analyses of self-assembly formed by [7]thiaheterohelicene-2,13-carboxaldehyde molecules on Au(111)

Abstract

of the [7]TH-dial molecules linked in different orientations (head-to-tail, sideways, head-on, and tail-on) through van der Waals interactions. The results presented here provide valuable insights for understanding the intermolecular and substrate-molecule interactions within the self-assembled nanostructures of [7]TH-dial molecules on metallic surfaces.
