Abstract
Scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) images of isolated Cu-phthalocyanine molecules on a Cu(100) substrate exhibit atomic scale features which agree well with Hückel molecular-orbital calculations. Images which show a molecule atop a measurably corrugated Cu(100) surface, a hopping molecule, packed molecular arrays, and a novel molecular binding site at a Cu step edge further illustrate the potential of STM for molecular observations.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
