• desired assemblies. Differences between PTCDA/TiO2(110) and PTCDA/TiO2(011) systems obtained through identical experimental procedures are discussed. Keywords: PTCDA, TiO2, rutile, self-assembly, STM; Introduction Molecular self-assembly appears to be a very powerful and versatile tool for the formation
