In our previous work, the sulfur and oxygen counterparts of this molecule exhibited controlled diffusion on Cu(111) violating the substrate's symmetry. In contrast Diseleno-ateanthracene shows an isotropic and very high mobility suggesting very non-local substrate interactions. However, we observe pronounced sensitivity of the diffusion to the oscillation of the Cu(111) substrate surface state. In this talk, we will focus on the coverage-dependent pattern formation of this species: at coverages close to 1 ML, two kinds of hexagonal patterns with large unit cells are formed. Both of them show a shell superstructure with an identical central empty hole. The smaller of the features one molecular shell of 6 molecules the larger a double shells of 6 and 12 molecules. Another kind of rectangular pattern is also observed, which could be an intermediate superstructure between the small and large hexagonal patterns. We will compare these patterns to prior work on sulfur and oxygen based molecules.

They achieve this by sequential placement of their substrate linkers and are hence dubbed "molecular walkers". VT-STM monitoring of their motion reveals a striking difference between the diffusion prefactors of the quadrupedal and bipedal species, with the latter being very low. DFT modeling of the diffusion barrier and WBK-based estimation of the potential for tunneling suggest that this discrepancy lies in the prevalence of tunneling for species, whose motion is only blocked by a barrier affecting one of their substrate linkers. In contrast, if the diffusion barrier affects two substrate linkers simultaneously, tunneling will not occur and conventional prefactors are observed. This finding may actually have far-reaching implications for the modeling of molecular motion in general, as it highlights that blocking of a single atoms is insufficient for confinement of molecular motion. We also investigated an asymmetric "molecular walkers", showing a symmetric diffusion in agreement with time-reversal invariance despite a saw-tooth shape of the diffusion barrier experienced.
