  abstract  = {We have investigated the self-assembly of the graphene nanoribbon molecular precursor 10,10'-dibromo-9,9'-bianthryl (DBBA) on Au(111) with frequency modulation scanning force microscopy (FM-SFM) at room temperature combined with ab initio calculations. For low molecular coverages, the molecules aggregate along the substrate herringbone reconstruction main directions while remaining mobile. At intermediate coverage, two phases coexist, zigzag stripes of monomer chains and decorated herringbones. For high coverage, the molecules assemble in a dimer-striped phase. The adsorption behaviour of DBBA molecules and their interactions are discussed and compared with the results from ab initio calculations.},
