title: Oxygen-induced self-assembly of quaterphenyl molecules on metal surfaces.
abstract: From high-resolution UHV-STM imaging and DFT calculations we have demonstrated a novel method to construct well-ordered molecular nanostructures of an unfunctionalized aromatic molecule (4Ph) on both Ag(110) and Cu(110) by introducing oxygen molecules.
