Nanopatterns of molecular spoked wheels as giant homologues of benzene tricarboxylic acids

Abstract
Scanning tunneling microscopy investigations of phenylene-based molecular spoked wheels with D3h and Cs symmetries on graphite show the competitive or complementary effects of carboxylic acid groups and alkoxy chains on the nanopattern formation.
