Two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular assemblies of a series of novel C3-symmetric hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives bearing different substituents adsorbed on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite were studied by using scanning tunneling microscopy at a solid−liquid interface. It was found t...
