abstract = {Molecular structural elucidation can be accomplished by different techniques,
such as nuclear magnetic resonance or X-ray diffraction. However, the former does not give
information about the three-dimensional atomic arrangement, and the latter needs
crystallizable solid samples. An alternative is direct, real-space visualization of the molecules
by cryogenic scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). This technique is usually limited to
thermally robust molecules because an annealing step is required for sample deposition. A
landmark development has been the coupling of STM with electrospray deposition (ESD),
which smooths the process and widens the scope of the visualization technique. In this work,
we present the on-surface characterization of air-, light-, and temperature-sensitive
rhamnopolyene with relevance in molecular biology. Supported by theoretical calculations,
we characterize two isomers of this flexible molecule, confirming the potential of the technique
to inspect labile, non-crystallizable compounds.},
