title: Donor/acceptor complex of triphenylene and trinitrotoluene on Au(111): a scanning tunneling microscopy study.
abstract: The co-adsorption of trinitrotoluene (TNT), a typical π-electron acceptor, and triphenylene (TP), a typical π-electron donor, on a Au(111) surface was investigated by in situ Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (ECSTM). DFT calculations proved that parallelly stacked and well-overlapped TP and TNT molecules can form Donor-Acceptor dyads through intermolecular π-π charge transfer, which agree well with the experimental results in the present work.
