At the initial stage, MnPc molecules preferentially occupy the step edges and elbow sites on the Au（111） surface, then they are separately adsorbed on the face-centered cubic and hexagonal closely packed regions due to a long-range repulsive molecule-molecule interaction. After the formation of a closely packed monolayer, molecular islands with second and third layers are observed.展开更多

We use manganese phthalocyanine （MnPc） molecules anchored on the Au（111） surface to efficiently collect and pin hydrogen molecules. A two-dimensional （2D） molecular hydrogen cluster is formed around the MnPc. The hydrogen cluster exhibits bias-dependent topography and spatial-dependent conductance spectra, which are rationalized by the exponentially decreasing threshold energy with distance from the central MnPc to activate the motion of the H2 molecules. This exponential drop reveals an interfacial phase behavior in the 2D cluster.展开更多
