Abstract
The assembly of the chiral pentagonal-star-shaped 1,3,5,7,9-pentaphenylcorannulene on a Cu(111) surface has been studied with scanning tunneling microscopy. Two different long-range ordered phases coexist at 60 K, most likely racemic and homochiral phases. The principal motifs emulate a network of meshed gears. One of the observed structures resembles the densest packing of five-fold symmetric stars.
