Decoupling molecular functional electronic units from a metallic substrate in a controllable manner is a major challenge for the investigation of the electronic properties of single molecules by STM. A promising approach is to use a tripodal molecule as a platform that carries the actual molecular wires or functional unit. [1]. Before functionality is integrated into this tripodal stand, the positioning and coupling of the platform to the substrate needs to be characterized thoroughly. To this end, we investigated spirobifluorene tripodal molecules. Different deposition techniques were used to deposit the molecules onto a Au(111) surface (from solutions or sublimation in UHV). We report on the morphology and electronic properties of these molecules by STM measurements. [1] Lukas et. al., ACS Nano 2013 7 (7), 6170-6180
