Halogen bonding is nowadays considered as an important tool for steering intermolecular interactions in supramolecular chemistry as well as crystal engineering. The formation of two dimensional (2D) molecular networks based on halogen bonding interactions has recently been reported at the solid-vacuum interface as well as at the solid-liquid interface. This is expected to open up new opportunities for the construction of organic thin film-based devices for future applications. However, the exact role of the halogen substituents in the structural formation of such networks attracts less attention and therefore, asks for more studies. In this work, we present the self-assembly of two bromine-functionalized pyrene derivatives on a Au(111) substrate by using scanning tunneling microscopy and low energy electron diffraction under ultrahigh vacuum conditions combined with density functional theory calculations. The study focuses on the influence of the halogen substituents on the resulting 2D molecular networks. Based on the theoretical calculations, the obtained self-assembled patterns are explained via optimizing the intermolecular interactions.
