Effect of underlying coronene and perylene adlayers for [60]fullerene molecular assembly

Supramolecularly assembled layers of C-60 on coronene- and perylene-modified Au(111) surfaces were investigated and the structure of the C-60 adlayer was found to be strongly influenced by the underlying organic layers, suggesting that the latter underlying organic adlayers play an important role in the process of formation of the C-60 molecular adlayer.
