Scanning tunnelling microscopy imaging of [3 x 3] Mn nonanuclear grids.
The scanning tunnelling microscopy imaging of [3 x 3] Mn(II) nonanuclear grids on gold substrates is described. Self-assembled behaviour is observed at both high and low coverage, with submolecular resolution of individual molecules displayed at low deposition concentrations. The importance of proper image processing techniques is demonstrated in resolving the layer structure at high coverage.
