The formation of extended polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by on-surface synthesis on metal surfaces has recently attracted increased interest owing to the current developments in the field of building new carbon allotropes in a bottom-up approach. We used planarized triarylamine molecules functionalized with diphenylmethylidene side groups and end groups of different types (e.g. alkylchains and trialkylsilyl moieties) as molecular building blocks. We investigated the potential of the functionalized triarylamine molecules to undergo a cyclodehydrogenation reaction on the Au(111) and Cu(111) surface to create novel extended PAHs doped with nitrogen heteroatoms. The thermal-stability of the different functional side and end groups as well as the adsorption configuration of the individual molecules will be discussed in detail by means of low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy under ultra-high vacuum condition.
