Most non-reactive substrates allow for a growth mode compatible with thebulk phase of the molecular crystal with two molecules in the unit cell, but some morereactive substrates including Ag(111) and Ag(110) can induce substantial changes inthe first monolayer (ML). In the specific case of Ag(110), the adsorbate unit cell ofboth NTCDA and PTCDA resembles a brickwall structure, with a single molecule inthe unit cell.
