The synthesis of long n‐peri‐acenes (n‐PAs) is challenging as a result of their inherent
open‐shell radical character, which arises from the presence of parallel zigzag edges …

On‐surface synthesis has recently emerged as a powerful strategy to design conjugated
polymers previously precluded in conventional solution chemistry. Here, an N‐containing …

Graphene adsorbed on Ru (0001) has been widely used as a template for adsorbing and
isolating molecules, assembling organic-molecule structures with desired geometric and …

The triptycene scaffold has been ring‐opened by using a retro‐Friedel‐Crafts‐type reaction
under acidic conditions to give its corresponding anthrone product. 9‐Hydroxytriptycenes …

The synthesis of nanographenes (NGs) with open-shell ground states have recently attained
increasing attention in view of their interesting physicochemical properties and great …

The interest in graphene (a carbon monolayer) adsorbed on metal surfaces goes back to the
60's, long before isolated graphene was produced in the laboratory. Owing to the carbon …
