Abstract

Self‐Assembly The cooperative effects in the adsorption process at an octanoic acid/highly oriented pyrolytic graphite interface has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy for the three isomers of a diarylethene derivative. It was found that the annulated isomer has a very large equilibrium constant, which explains the predominantly observed ordering of the annulated isomer. The analysis using a cooperative model indicates the formation of mixed crystals and mixing‐induced cooperativity, providing a new view of the formation of 2D multicomponent molecular ordering.
