Heteroatom-substituted and three-dimensional nanocarbon materials studied with low temperature STM and qPlus AFM — •Shigeki Kawai — National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan

Since the first systematic on-surface covalent coupling of bromo-substituted porphyrins,[1] on-surface chemical synthesis has attracted tremendous interest of researchers. Combining with bond-resolved scanning probe microscopy (SPM) with the qPlus sensor, [2] this field has been rapidly developed. In this contribution, I will present our recent studies on on-surface chemistry with high-resolution SPM operating at low temperature under ultra-high vacuum. We synthesized heteroatom doped [3] and three-dimensional graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) by coupling bromo substituted-propellane molecules on Au(111).[4] In the 3D-GNR, the C-Br bonds distant from the surface remained intact even after the reaction. The radical species were formed by tip-induced debromination and were also stabilized by either Br atom or fullerene molecule. We also developed new on-surface reaction, which can synthesize graphene nanoribbon and covalent organic frameworks with silabenzene units by coupling Si atom and Br-substituted molecule.[5]
