Recently, on-surface synthesis based on the use of covalent linking has offered an excellent platform to construct novel 1D and 2D carbon-based materials. In particular, the thermally induced dehalogenation of pre-defined C-X groups (X = halogen) provides an efficient route to produce radicals for subsequent C-C couplings on the surface [1]. Until now, all employed halide precursors had only one halogen attached to a carbon atom. It is thus of interest to study the effect of attaching more than one halogen atom to a carbon atom with the aim of producing multiple unpaired electrons.
Herein, by introducing an alkenyl gem-dibromide, cumulene products were fabricated on an Au(111) surface by dehalogenative homocoupling reactions [2]. The reaction products and pathways were unambiguously characterized by the combination of high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) measurements together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
