22. The decisive role of atom evaporation from steps could be proven in the present case by the following experiments. In the first case, the step mobility was limited by step decoration with carbon monoxide which significantly delayed compound formation. In the second case, compound formation could be triggered by co-deposition of Cu or by raising the temperature.

29. Note, however, that single complexes are perfectly stable below 180 K, where molecular motion is frozen. No dissociation/association events are detected in the corresponding STM images, which demonstrates that the room-temperature dynamics of the complexes is not influenced by tip effects.
