On-surface reactions and molecular charge-state transitions by atom manipulationKatharina Kaiser, Shadi Fatayer, Florian Albrecht, and •Leo Gross — IBM Research - Zurich

Molecules can be created using atom manipulation to break and to form covalent bonds. High-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) with functionalized tips provides insights into the structure, geometry, aromaticity, charge states and bond-order relations of the molecules created and into the reactions performed [1]. Recently, we generated the elusive molecular carbon allotrope cyclo[18]carbon and resolved its long debated structure [2].

On insulating substrates, we control the charge state of molecules by deliberately attaching and detaching single electrons and measured the reorganization energy of a molecule [3] and recently probed molecular excited states [4]. Moreover, we resolved changes of molecular geometry, adsorption and aromaticity related to its oxidation state [5].
