The supramolecular self‐assembly of brominated molecules was investigated and compared on Cu(110) and Cu(110)O(2×1) surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum. By using scanning tunnelling microscopy, we show that brominated molecules form a disordered structure on Cu(110), whereas a well‐ordered supramolecular network is observed on the Cu(110)O(2×1) surface. The different adsorption behaviors of these two surfaces are described in terms of weakened molecule–substrate interactions on Cu(110)O(2×1) as opposed to bare Cu(110). The effect of oxygen‐passivation is to suppress debromination and it can be a convenient approach for investigating other self‐assembly processes on copper‐based substrates.
