In this regard, the observation done by Gawronski et al., 101 is all the more interesting. The authors explored a similar explores the prospect of FOs. They have investigated inelastic Friedellike oscillations stemming from the interaction of adsorbate vibrational modes with the surface. Dimers of dichlorobenzene adsorbed on Au(111) seem to produce FOs due to the coupling of molecular vibrations with surface phonons as supported by the IETS spectra and DFT calculations. The authors have debated that the Friedel-like patterns they have observed are a superposition of surface state electrons with scattered surface state electrons .
