Abstract
The modular synthesis of a defined, rigid molecular spoked wheel structure with the sum formula C1878H2682 and a diameter of about 12 nm is described. The attached 96 dodecyl side chains provide the solubility of the 25 260 Da compound in common organic solvents. At the octanoic acid/highly oriented pyrolytic graphite interface, the molecules self-assemble to form an ordered 2D lattice, which is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy, displaying their structure with submolecular resolution.Entities:
