We report on the real-space observation of the two-dimensional distorted triangular lattice of physisorbed oxygenmolecules on an Ag(111) surface by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The physisorbed state of themonolayers was confirmed by measuring their thermal stability, which showed good agreement with previous thermal desorption spectroscopy. The distortion of the observed lattice was reproduced quantitatively by considering the intermolecular exchange interaction in Monte Carlo calculations, indicating a critical role of antiferromagnetic ordering ofspins. In tunneling spectra, the Kondo resonance was not observed on thelayer at 4.7 K unlike the case of physisorbedon Ag(110). These results indicate that an intrinsicspin of themolecules was preserved to form a two-dimensional antiferromagnetic quantum spin system on the surface.
