## Description

- description: The interplay between the molecular shape and the intermolecular interaction
    plays a decisive role in self-assembled structures. Recently, inherent randomness
    of low ordered assemblies, resulting from lack of short- and long-range periodicities,
    has attracted significant attention due to the unique structural, electronic,
    and mechanical properties. Here, we present procrystalline self-assemblies of
    pentaphenyl cyclopentadienyl derivatives on Ag(111) and Au(111) with scanning
    tunneling microscopy, operating at 4.3 K under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Two
    examples, using five-fold symmetric molecules substituted with methyl or fluorine
    groups, show that weak interactions, such as π-π stacking, CH-π interactions,
    and CH···F hydrogen bonding, play a pivotal role in formation of the procrystalline
    assembly. Our results may give insights into the intricate relationship between
    the molecular shape and the intermolecular interaction in the formation of non-crystalline
    assemblies.
