Self-organization of electron acceptor molecules on grapheneThis article is part of the ‘Carbon Nanostructures’ web-theme issue for ChemComm.

Graphene grown on Ir(111) electronically decouples adsorbed molecules from the metallic substrate and allows the study of their self-organization on surfaces. We study two electron acceptor molecules from the same family. The intermolecular interaction, attractive for TCNQ and repulsive for F4-TCNQ, dictates the molecular ordering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
