title: A rigid sublimable naphthalenediimide cyclophane as model compound for UHV STM experiments.
abstract: The design, synthesis and characterization of a rigid naphthalenediimide cyclophane as a model compound for ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) STM experiments are described together with first self-assembly investigations on an Au(111) substrate displaying the formation of densely packed parallel rows of molecules.
