The morphology and electronic structure of pentacene (Pn) deposited on Cu(111) was studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Deposition of a multilayer followed by annealing to reduce coverage to a monolayer results in the formation of either of two unique phases: a two-dimensional herringbone structure previously unobserved for any linear acene to our knowledge, or a “random-tiling” structure. Coverage greater than a monolayer promotes the formation of a bilayer phase similar to that observed for Pn/Ag(111). STS shows that the electronic structure of the first layer is strongly modified due to its proximity to the substrate, while the second layer exhibits nearly bulklike electronic structure.read more

TL;DR: An easy-to-access, near UV-emitting linearly extended B,N-doped heptacene is designed and syn-thesized in good yields and the potential of the molecular design to trigger TADF in larger acenes is demonstrated through the accurate prediction of ∆EST using correlated wavefunction-based calculations.

TL;DR: Investigation of chiral recognition phenomena in the 2D crystallization of the helical chiral aromatic hydrocarbon pentahelicene on a Cu(111) surface shows that, at the onset of second-layer nucleation, a local change of enantiomeric composition in the first layer occurs, causing the transition from a 2D racemate to a2D conglomerate.
