Regardless of the absence of alkyl chains and conventional hydrogen bonding sites as well as its small size, 2,6-diethynylpyridine forms an ordered array at the interface between 1-phenyloctane and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) under room temperature conditions, as revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy. We propose a model for the superperiodic molecular arrangement with reference to the bulk crystal structure, in which the surface pattern is governed by weak C-H center dot center dot center dot N and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi hydrogen bonds as well as the periodic potential of the underlying graphite surface.
