The adsorption between the 6-and 4-ring allows anisotropic layer growth. The coverage is limited by Pauli repulsion, which strongly affects high coverage within one row and oppresses more than one cyclooctyne every second four-ring in both directions. Depending on the position of second cyclooctyne, a coverage of 0.25 is easily achievable in a checkerboard pattern, whereas higher coverages are heavily punished by repulsive effects. The adsorption of cyclooctyne strongly affects the electronic structure with transition from conducting to semiconducting state and a disappearance of the type-II Dirac cone found in the pristine 2D material.
