a Supramolecular structures formed from TTMPP in presence of the lateral confinement experienced by its preferential adsorption on the fcc facets of the Au(111) herringbone reconstruction. Individual conformers, single chains and double chains are visible as well as some triangular pores (yellow arrows) reminiscent of one unit of the Kagome network found on Ag(111). b Expansion of highlighted area (green box in a) -of-similarity with the structures found on Ag(111): Red triangle— triangular Kagome-type vertex; yellow boxes—chains of TTMPP with meso-substituents in opposing positions having different conformations (similar to the case on Ag(111); see Supplementary Fig. 4); blue circles—individual molecules exhibiting saddle conformations.
