A competitive amino-carboxylic hydrogen bond on a gold surface.
An amino-carboxylic motif is identified as a novel synthon in the formation of 2D hetero-organic architectures at surfaces. The well-defined interacting scheme we describe herein represents an ideal prototypical system for further investigation of the interaction at surfaces of the two functional groups.
