The adsorption of melamine was investigated on the Ni{111} surface under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Molecular packing and conformation are investigated with STM and RAIRS. The adsorption behaviour was found to be strongly influenced by the substrate with RAIRS indicating that the molecular plane is close-to perpendicular to the surface. Thermally stable one-dimensional chains of partially dehydrogenated melamine are formed on the Ni surface aligned along the  crystallographic directions.
