The adsorption of the helically shaped polyaromatic hydrocarbon heptahelicene (C30H18) on Ni(111) was studied by means of STM, TPD, LEED, ToF-SIMS, XPS, and AES at temperatures between 130 and 1000 K. The molecule in the monolayer remains intact up to 500 K. Above that temperature a stepwise decomposition into carbon and hydrogen occurs; the latter desorbing subsequently as H-2. At submonolayer coverages the molecules are adsorbed randomly. The saturated monolayer shows long-range order, but no differences between the structures generated by a pure enantiomer or the racemic mixture have been observed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.
