The number of F atoms on the phenyl group had significantly affected the self-assembly structures. High-resolution STM images make clear the different assembly structures between the molecules 1-3, which attribute to the different F atom numbers and pyridine group in the molecule. Density functional theory(DFT) calculations have been performed to reveal the formation mechanism.展开更多
