Foreword
With the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) in the early 80’s of the last century, the direct real space observation of atoms and molecules on extended solid surfaces became possible. Due to its unparalleled capabilities, the STM quickly established itself as a powerful tool in fundamental sciences and is nowadays a standard instrument in laboratories all over the world. The investigation of large organic molecules on surfaces by STM has become a vivid research field with the vista to engineer functional devices. Specific interactions between absorbed molecules and/or with the underlying substrate often trigger peculiar adsorption behaviors like the self-assembly into long range ordered arrays. Due to the
