“…In order to test the quality of the geometrical results for the molecular structures we have carried out a series of calculations using different methods: the semiempirical hamiltonian AM1 available in the GAMESS package [27], and the ab initio density functional methods Siesta [28,29] and state-of-the-art DMOL3 [30,31] in the local density approximation. The obtained structural dimensions are very consistent and in very good agreement with the estimated experimental data from STM experiments [15,19,33,34], indicating that the used molecular force field reproduces the VL geometrical features quite well.…”

“…Self-assembly directed by noncovalent interactions, for example, hydrogen bonding, metal−organic coordination, and van der Waals (vdW) forces, is an extremely versatile approach for the bottom-up fabrication of supramolecular architectures on inorganic solid surfaces, which is expected to be of substantial importance within the emerging field of nanotechnology and nanodevices. , Numerous hydrogen-bonded one-dimensional (1-D) molecular line and two-dimensional (2-D) network structures grown by molecular self-assembly on surfaces have by now been extensively studied, in particular, by the technique of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In the majority of cases this has involved planar compounds confined directly onto surfaces in a planar geometry and equipped with structurally rigid chemical functionalities to direct the self-assembly. In contrast, so-called “Lander-type” molecules are a special class of compounds in which an aromatic molecular backboard is equipped with bulky chemical side groups which act as spacer legs, providing a pronounced three-dimensional (3-D) structure and decoupling the central aromatic board from the underlying substrate. Individual Lander molecules adsorbed on surfaces have previously been demonstrated to have a number of interesting properties, such as altered diffusion behavior, controlled electronic coupling to step edges, intramolecular deformation, and the ability to act as molds for metallic nanostructures. , Organized 1-D structures of Lander molecules have been formed by adsorption onto surface templates provided by metal-oxide nanogratings or guided by strong molecule−substrate interactions, ,, but more compl...…”
