STM images, a 20 × 20 nm2; b 8 × 8 nm2; c 8 × 7 nm2; Vs = 0.6 V, It = 400 pA. As a visual guide, pink and blue triangles highlight the position of triangular trimer enantiomers, and the three molecules composing them have been colored in blue, green, and red colors in b and c. d, e Models of molecular arrangement observed in b and c, respectively. Light blue triangles highlight the position of triangular trimers composed of blue, red, and green molecules. f Model of the Kagomé-β nanoarchitecture observed in a–c. The Baravelle spiral triangles (red, blue, and green) have been superimposed on the model.
