Calixarene molecules deposited on Au(110) self-organize giving rise to a (19x6) coincidence cell with the substrate. Using grazing incidence x-ray diffraction, the structure has been completely resolved: gold reconstructs with a (1x3) missing-row structure while the molecules form a (19/6x6) surface cell containing two molecules. This study opens perspectives to create long-range ordered molecular templates to be used as receptors for other species providing an example of collaborative self-arrangement through a metallic substrate acting as guide and molecular flexibility.
