Direct imaging of intermolecular bonds in scanning tunneling microscopy.
Local, noncovalent intermolecular interactions in organic monolayers have been directly imaged using scanning tunneling hydrogen microscopy (STHM). Unprecedented spatial resolution directly reveals the relation between the intermolecular interactions, the molecular chemical structure, and the ordering in the film.
