Sb 4 : The building block of a new solid‐state modification of antimony . This is a somewhat provocative description of the fact that nanocrystalline structures of Sb 4 tetrahedrons exist on the substrates AuSb 2 (100) and MoS 2 (0001). Scanning tunneling microscopy images (see picture, (a) and (b), respectively, each 39×39 Å 2 ) of thin amorphous antimony films show such local well‐ordered areas with nearly cubic symmetry.
