Azo supramolecules on Au(111) with controlled size and shape.
Using a subtle balance between weak intermolecular C-H...N hydrogen bonds and molecule-surface interactions, supramolecules of azobenzene-related molecules on Au surfaces were prepared. For analysis, modeling based on first-principles calculations was performed.
