14. We note that the tip conditioning procedure leading to submolecular resolution as shown in Fig. 1(e) is reproducible and will be described in detail in a forthcoming publication.

17. A tip scanning speed of 17 Å/s was used which is comparable to typical values previously reported for lateral manipulation experiments (cf., e.g., Ref. 19).

21. The spacing of benzene units of the free molecule is 2.45 Å (cf. Ref. 13) whereas the Cu-Cu spacing along 〈110〉 is 2.55 Å. Note, however, that the dimensions of the free molecule can at best serve as a rough estimate when compared to the adsorbed molecule.
