for hydrogen bonding, as observed here in two-dimensions need
to be taken into account also for the third dimension, because
they influence the formation of hydrogen bond networks.
Nevertheless, our work offers unique insights into the
interactions between water molecules and functional groups on
the sub-molecular length scale. By revealing the lateral extend
and structure of the solvation shell of a single molecule our work
complements the work by liquid-phase AFM. While the latter
gives a three-dimensional picture of water distribution dominated
by the arrangement of the ions and molecules that compose a
surface, our results shed light on the influence of individual
functional groups on water distribution. The fundamental
understanding of solvation gained in our model study is an
important step forward in the ongoing quest to understand
solvation on the single molecule level.

For deposition on the surface, the molecules are held at 413 K
which yields a pressure of 5 · 10 mbar in a sealed off molecule
deposition chamber. NPAS molecules are deposited onto the
surface held at 23 to 30 K. The deposition time of 45 s is

the one set in the molecule deposition chamber. After exposure,
the sample is transferred to the STM that is operated at a
temperature of 6 K, in constant current mode. All images are
recorded at a bias voltage of 50 mV and a current of 8 pA.
Gas phase structures are calculated semi-empirically using the
