Replication Data for: On the origin of cooperativity effects in the formation of self-assembled molecular networks at the liquid/solid interface​

The purpose of this data set is to give the reader access to the experimental data used in the publication "On the origin of cooperativity effects in the formation of self-assembled molecular networks at the liquid/solid interface​" ( DOI: 10.1039/D4SC00284A). This folder contains a dataset of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) images and quantitative analysis files used for a systematic study of the effect of concentration on the overall process of self-assembled molecular network formation at the liquid/solid interface for the case of 1-(octadecyloxy)-3,5-dimethylbenzene at the heptanoic acid/HOPG interface. Herein, the effect of the concentration on the adsorption behaviour, focusing on the surface coverage, has been evaluated at the nanoscale, and obtained results have been analysed using analytical thermodynamic models.
