Abstract

We report the discovery of bridge-bonded methylthiolate, SCH3, along the step edges of the Au(111) surface. Real-space imaging with a scanning tunnelling microscope reveals the presence of bridge-bonded SCH3 along both the [1[1 with combining macron]0] and the [11[2 with combining macron]] oriented...
