(a) STM height image of a templated bilayer of 3 in heptanoic acid solution. Measuring conditions U_s=+1.05 V, I_t=42 pA. Two different unit cells can be identified from the fast fourier transform in the inset, the scale bar is 1/10 nm. STM height image at +1.05 V (b) and −1.05 V (c) of a templated bilayer (2ML) of 3 in heptanoic acid solution. The unit cell measures a=(2.85±0.04) nm, b=(2.84±0.04) nm, θ=(61±1)°. An inset in c is showed in a different contrast to highlight the image of the macrocycles of the first templated monolayer (1ML). We attribute the bright spot to the C₆₀ of the layer on top. (d) Scheme of the suggested arrangement of the first and second layer of 3. C₆₀ of the second layer lies on the rim of the first one. (e) I–V characteristic over fifteen measurements through 1ML and 2ML of 3 (STS conditions U_s=+0.95 V and I_t=51 pA) (see Supplementary Fig. 9 for scattering of data).
