Self-Assembly of Polar Phthalocyanine Molecules on Graphene Grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition

Integration of functional organic molecules with graphene is expected to promote the development of graphene-based flexible electronics with novel properties. Here, the self-assembled structure of dipole phthalocyanine molecules, chloro-aluminum phthalocyanine (ClAlPc), on single-layer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over a Cu film was characterized by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (LT-STM). The phthalocyanine...
