Abstract: Two-dimensional surface structures formed by organic self-assembly offer an efficient route to bottom-up assembly of tailored nanostructures. Organic building blocks are especially interesting because of the wide variety of structures and properties that can be "built-in" at the synthesis stage. Well-controlled studies of these systems under ultrahigh vacuum conditions allow a careful look at the fundamental properties and relevant kinetic growth limitations. Further work will develop our understanding of the functionality of the systems and their potential use in technological applications.

TL;DR: It is shown that electron transfer at the interface between a metal surface and the organic electron acceptor tetracyano-p-quinodimethane leads to substantial structural rearrangements on both the organic and metallic sides of the interface.
First layer compression and transition to standing second layer of terephthalic acid on Cu(100)
TL;DR: These results provide general insight in the development of self-assembled organic thin films at surfaces, especially with regard to the nature of the metal/organic interface and growth transitions to maximize first layer packing and obtain a second layer that bridges commensurability with the substrate and a more bulk-like structure.

Molecules on insulating films: scanning-tunneling microscopy imaging of individual molecular orbitals.
TL;DR: Ultrathin insulating NaCl films have been employed to decouple individual pentacene molecules electronically from the metallic substrate, which allows the inherent electronic structure of the free molecule to be preserved and studied by means of low-temperature scanning-tunneling microscopy.
