The molecular conformation of a bisbinaphthyldurene (BBD) molecule is manipulated using a low-temperature ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (LT-UHV STM) on an Au(111) surface. BBD has two binaphthyl groups at both ends connected to a central durene leading to anti/syn/flat conformers. In solution, dynamic nuclear magnetic resonance indicated the fast interexchange between the anti and syn conformers as confirmed by density functional theory calculations. After deposition in a submonolayer on an Au(111) surface, only the syn conformers were observed forming small islands of self-assembled syn dimers. The syn dimers can be separated into syn monomers by STM molecular manipulations. A flat conformer can also be prepared by using a peculiar mechanical unfolding of a syn monomer by STM manipulations. The experimental STM dI/dV and theoretical elastic scattering quantum chemistry maps of the low-lying tunneling resonances confirmed the flat conformer BBD molecule STM production. The key BBD electronic states for a step-by-step STM inelastic excitation lateral motion on the Au(111) are presented requiring no mechanical interactions between the STM tip apex and the BBD. On the BBD molecular board, selected STM tip apex positions for this inelastic tunneling excitation enable the flat BBD to move controllably on Au(111) by a step of 0.29 nm per bias voltage ramp.
