Two alkyl-substituted dual oligothiophenes, quarterthiophene (4T)-trimethylene (tm)-octithiophene (8T) and 4T-tm-4T, were used to fabricate molecular structures on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and Au(111) surfaces. The resulted structures were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. The 4T-tm-8T and 4T-tm-4T molecules self-organize into long-range ordered structures with linear and/or quasi-hexagonal patterns on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite at ambient temperature. Thermal annealing induced a phase transformation from quasi-hexagonal to linear in 4T-tm-8T adlayer. The molecules adsorbed on Au(111) surface in randomly folded and linear conformation. Based on scanning tunneling microscopy results, the structural models for different self-organizations were proposed. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurement showed the electronic property of individual molecules in the patterns. These results are significant in understanding the chemistry of molecular structure, including its formation, transformation, and electronic properties. They also help to fabricate oligothiophene assemblies with desired structures for future molecular devices.
