On-surface synthesis has opened pathways to molecular nanostructures that have been inaccessible so far. Here, we demonstrate the successful use of methyl and vinyl groups to achieve one-dimensional (1D) polymers composed of repeat units with specific ring topologies.
Methyl groups are proven to undergo an oxidative cyclization to the neighboring phenyl, forming five-membered rings and affording unprotected indenofluorene isomers, some of which exhibit high radical character. Vinyl groups enable the formation of additional six-membered rings, affording benzo[k]tetraphene units after a stable intermediate with CH2 groups protruding out of five-membered rings.
The structure and electronic properties of the obtained polymers have been characterized by STM, nc-AFM, and STS, and supported by theoretical calculations. The observed reaction steps and products extend the knowledge of on-surface reactions to fine tune architectures and functionalities.
