The bulk properties of glasses and amorphous materials have been studied widely, but the determination of their structural details at the molecular level is hindered by the lack of long-range order. Recently, two-dimensional, supramolecular random networks were assembled on surfaces, and the identification of elementary structural motifs and defects has provided insights into the intriguing nature of disordered materials. So far, however, such networks have been obtained with homomolecular hydrogen-bonded systems of limited stability. Here we explore robust, disordered coordination networks that incorporate transition-metal centres. Cobalt atoms were co-deposited on metal surfaces with a ditopic linker that is nonlinear, prochiral (deconvoluted in three stereoisomers on two-dimensional confinement) and bears terminal carbonitrile groups. In situ scanning tunnelling microscopy revealed the formation of a set of coordination nodes of similar energy that drives a divergent assembly scenario. The expressed string formation and bifurcation motifs result in a random reticulation of the entire surface.
