It has been demonstrated that intermolecular interaction, crucial in a plenty of chemical and physical processes, may vary in the presence of metal surface.However, such modification is yet to be quantitatively revealed.Here, we present a systematical density functional theory study on adsorbed bis(para-pyridyl)acetylene(BPPA)tetramer on Au(111) surface.We observed unusually high electron density between two head-to-head N atoms, an intermolecular "non-bonded" region, in adsorbed BPPA tetramer.This exceptional electron density originates from the wavefunction hybridization of the two compressed N lone-electron-pair states of two BPPA, as squeezed by a newly revealed N-Au-N three-center bonding.This bond, together with the minor contribution from N H-C intermolecular hydrogen bonding, shortens the N-N distance from over 4 Å to 3.30 Å and offers an attractive lateral interacting energy of 0.60 eV, effectively to a surface-confined in-plane pressure.The overlapped non-bonding wavefunction hybridization arising from the effective pressure induced by the N-Au-N three-center bonding, as not been fully recognized in earlier studies, was manifested in non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy.
