Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) is a chemical moiety which may act as an electron acceptor within organic electronic-devices and exhibits a high charge carrier mobility. [1] Charge transport within such systems is affected by the local arrangement, and orientation, of molecules/domains; hence controlled formation of ordered structures is of interest. Self-assembly of functionalised DPP species is a route towards ordered structures [2], and on-surface protocols allow monomer units to be covalently coupled under appropriate reaction conditions (e.g. Ullmann-type reactions [3]). Here we study an alkyl chain functionalised DPP unit possessing aryl-hide groups to facilitate on-surface covalent coupling. The self-assembled structure of the monomer units is characterised and ordered polymers, formed via thermal treatment, are investigated using Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM). [1] Y.
