The formation of novel vanadium oxide cluster molecules by oxidative two-dimensional evaporation from vanadium oxide nanostructures is reported on a Rh(111) metal surface. The structure and stability of the planar V6O12 clusters and the physical origin of their 2D evaporation process have been elucidated by high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and ab initio density functional theory calculations. The surface diffusion of the clusters has been followed in elevated-temperature STM experiments, and the diffusion parameters have been extracted, indicating diffusion by hopping of the entire surface stabilized cluster units.
