Abstract
The cooperative effect of hydrogen and halogen bonds on the 2‐dimensional molecular arrangement of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. The scanning tunneling microscopy observations demonstrate that the self‐assembled hydrogen‐bonded molecular chicken‐wire networks of trimesic acid have been significantly transformed after annealing and the introduction of tribromobenzene guest molecules. Bromine atoms and carboxyl groups were found to form 2 different multicomponent structures via hydrogen and halogen bonds. Owing to the effect of halogen and hydrogen bonds, tribromobenzene with trimesic acid formed the 3‐fold symmetry networks.
