• ; iron phthalocyanine (FePc); scanning tunneling microscopy; self-assembly; Introduction The development of molecular circuitry requires the preparation of nanostructures isolated from the influence of the underlying substrate. This is of crucial importance for atomic and single-molecule prototypes, but

• already allows the molecules to rearrange into large elongated crystallites. This was observed previously for iron phthalocyanine (FePc) thin films deposited at different substrate temperatures [16]. However, in that case the length of the major axis was found to be 200 nm at a temperature of 260 °C. The

• the central metal atom [5]. When deposited on surfaces, their interaction may be driven by dipolar forces mainly related to the organic cage and by a stronger interaction that is associated with the central metal atom. As an example, the adhesion of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) and cobalt phthalocyanine
