a, Experimental STM images of 3a-EBPP on Ag(111), taken at −200 and 400 mV and 50 pA, respectively. b, Profile along the marked arrow pairs in the negative-bias STM in a. c, Simulated STM images of 3a-EBPP on Ag(111), obtained at −200 and 400 mV, respectively. d, Profile along the marked arrow pairs in the simulated negative-bias STM in c. e, Experimental STM images of 5a-EBPP on Ag(100), taken at −250 and 250 mV and 30 pA, respectively. f, Profile along the marked arrow pairs in the negative-bias STM in e. g, Simulated STM images of 5a-EBPP on Ag(100), obtained at −250 and 250 mV, respectively. h, Profile along the marked arrow pairs in the simulated negative-bias STM in g. The simulated STM images in c and g are obtained with Gaussian smoothing function by considering the tip convolution effect, processed with the standard deviation of 1.3 and 1.0 Å for positive and negative biases in c and 1.3 Å for both positive and negative biases in g, respectively.
