On-surface synthesis has emerged as a powerful tool to fabricate various functional low-
dimensional nanostructures with atomic precision, thus becoming a promising platform for …

The development of functional organic molecules requires structures of increasing size and
complexity, which are typically obtained by the covalent coupling of smaller building blocks …

Hopf et al. reported the high-temperature 6π-electrocyclization of cis-hexa-1, 3-diene-5-yne
to benzene in 1969. Subsequent studies using this cyclization have been limited by its very …

The surface chemistry of large molecules such as tetraphenylporphyrin molecules
functionalized with terminal alkyne groups has not yet been studied, as these molecules are …

The on-surface synthesis of non-planar nanographenes is a challenging task. Herein, with
the aid of bond-resolving scanning tunneling microscopy (BRSTM) and density functional …
