CO diffusion within a honeycomb network of anthraquinone molecules on a Cu(111) will be presented. The motion of the molecules is strongly affected by the confinement provided by the network. We observe the formation of a shell structure within pores, diffusion rates that strongly depend on the coverage and imperfections of the coverage (e.g. dislocation lines) that appear thermodynamically stable.
