Abstract
We present scanning tunneling microscope images of benzene adsorbed
on the Pt111 surface. We find three distinct types of images for
isolated benzene molecules, depending upon the benzene adsorption
site. This site dependence is in agreement with recent theoretical
calculations, and may limit the usefulness of the scanning tunneling
microscope in elucidating the structures of adsorpted molecules.
