A bstract : Specifically designed series of molecules (landers), comprising a central rigid polyaromatic core and several spacers that decouple the board from the metallic surface, have been synthesized. UHV‐STM studies, on one hand, have shown important distortions of the molecule by interaction with the substrate. On the other hand, surface restructuring results from the presence of the molecules.
