Abstract
This study presents an innovative synthesis of dihydrotetraazapentacene (DHTAP) and the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) investigation of the initial stages of its growth on Au(111). We were able to demonstrate that, up to the fourth monolayer, the DHTAP films show a high structural order and growths in perfect epitaxy. This behavior can be unequivocally attributed to the stabilizing effect of intralayer hydrogen bonding interactions.
