The self-assembly into a semi-regular rhombitrihexagonal tiling superstructure not only depends on the synthesis of the required covalent building blocks but also depends on their ratio. The organic tessellation nanoarchitecture is achieved when the molecules are deposited on a Au(111) surface at 145 \u00b0C. This halogen-bonded structure is composed of triangular domains of intact molecules separated by rectangular rows of covalent dimers. The nearly hexagonal vertices are composed of covalent multimers. The experimental observations reveal that the perfect semi-regular rhombitrihexagonal tiling cannot be engineered because it requires, in addition to the dimers and intact molecules, the synthesis of covalent hexagons. This building block is only observed above 165 \u00b0C and does not coexist with the other required organic buildings blocks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms241411291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,11]],"date-time":"2023-07-11T01:40:02Z","timestamp":1689039602000},"page":"11291","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Toward Two-Dimensional Tessellation through Halogen Bonding between Molecules and On-Surface-Synthesized Covalent Multimers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"David","family":"Peyrot","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CEA, CNRS, SPEC, TITANS, Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay, F-91191 Gif sur Yvette, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6782-9268","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabien","family":"Silly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEA, CNRS, SPEC, TITANS, Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay, F-91191 Gif sur Yvette, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2959","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccr.2009.07.028","article-title":"Two-Dimensional Molecular Porous Networks Constructed by Surface Assembling","volume":"253","author":"Liang","year":"2009","journal-title":"Coord.
