摘要
We present first principles density functional theory calculations of three molecules, DEB and BuCYA, on a Au(111) surface. These molecules differ only in their side chains and have been observed to self-assemble in an ordered Structure in the case of DEB but in a disordered structure in the case of BuCYA. Our calculations reveal the reason for this different behavior and explain recent STM-observations. The detailed analysis of the energetics underlines the importance of long-range dispersive interactions, which we find crucial to reproduce the experimental results.
