We report experiments by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on ordered structures of two sulfur-containing π-conjugated molecules on the Au(111)-surface, namely tetrabenzothianthrene (TBTA) and tetrathiotetracene (TTT). These molecules are candidates for d...
