We report on-surface identification and visualization of an unprecedented and universal phenyl group migration reaction of 1,4-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetraphenyl benzene (DMTPB)a precursor on Au(111), Cu(111) and Ag(110) substrates by a combination of bond-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy (BR-STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The phenyl group migration reaction of DMTPB precursor results in formations of variously unprecedented polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on the substrates. DFT calculations reveal that the multiple-steps phenyl group migration reactions are facilitated by the radical attack and rearomatization of the DMTPB precursor. Our study provides unprecedented insights into complex surface reaction mechanisms at the single molecule level, which may guide the design of chemical species.
