Abstract: | 3 (CH2)9]SH) have been adsorbed on Au(111) single crystals both via vacuum deposition and from an ethanolic solution. The epitaxial
structure of the ultrathin organic films has been identified at room temperature via low-energy electron diffraction to be
c(4×2)R30° for the solution grown film and rectangular c(23×) for the vacuum deposited film. These structures correspond to molecules adsorbed on the surface with their carbon chains
flat on the surface (vacuum deposited) and nearly perpendicular (solution grown). It is demonstrated that this orientation
can be changed reversibly in vacuum via either annealing the films or exposing them to additional gas.
