Fig. 5: Models for the vertical positioning of molecules above the Ag(111) surface.

a Metal-organic intermediate phase of the Ullmann-type coupling reaction, with molecules bonded to silver adatoms (dark blue) adsorbed in bridge sites. Average heights of the molecule (red dashed line), C–Ag–C bonded carbon (light grey) and Ag adatoms are shown. b Covalent phase of Ullmann coupling reaction, with average height of the molecule shown.
