    On‐Surface Interchain Coupling and Skeletal Rearrangement of Indenofluorene Polymers

    Get PDF
    On-surface synthesis serves as a powerful approach to construct π-conjugated carbon nanostructures that are not accessible by conventional wet chemistry. Nevertheless, this method has been limited by the types and numbers of available on-surface transformations. While the majority of successful cases exploit thermally triggered dehalogenative carbon–carbon coupling and cyclodehydrogenation, rearrangement of appropriate functional moieties has received limited research attention. Here, the unprecedented interchain coupling and thermally induced skeleton rearrangement are described of (dihydro)indeno[2,1-b]fluorene (IF) polymers on an Au(111) surface under ultrahigh vacuum conditions, leading to different ladder polymers as well as fully fused graphene nanoribbon segments containing pentagonal and heptagonal rings. Au-coordinated nanoribbons are also observed. All structures are unambiguously characterized by high-resolution scanning probe microscopy. The current results provide an avenue to fabricating a wider variety of π-conjugated polymers and carbon nanostructures comprising nonhexagonal rings as well as rarely explored organometallic nanoribbons.journal articl

    Structural Expansion of Cyclohepta[def]fluorene towards Azulene-Embedded Non-Benzenoid Nanographenes

    Non-benzenoid non-alternant nanographenes (NGs) have attracted increasing attention on account of their distinct electronic and structural features in comparison to their isomeric benzenoid counterparts. In this work, we present a series of unprecedented azulene-embedded NGs on Au(111) during the attempted synthesis of cyclohepta[def]fluorene-based high-spin non-Kekulé structure. Comprehensive scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) evidence the structures and conformations of these unexpected products. The dynamics of the precursor bearing 9-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)anthracene and dihydro-dibenzo-cyclohepta[def]fluorene units and its reaction products on the surface are analyzed by density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Our study sheds light on the fundamental understanding of precursor design for the fabrication of π-extended non-benzenoid NGs on a metal surfaceThis research was financially supported by the EU Graphene Flagship (Graphene Core 3, 881603), ERC Consolidator Grant (T2DCP, 819698), H2020-MSCA-ITN (ULTIMATE, No. 813036), the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed), H2020- EU.1.2.2. – FET Proactive Grant (LIGHT-CAP, 101017821) and the DFG-SNSF Joint Switzerland-German Research Project (EnhanTopo, No. 429265950).

    Defect-induced π-magnetism into non-benzenoid nanographenes

    Get PDF
    The synthesis of nanographenes (NGs) with open-shell ground states have recently attained increasing attention in view of their interesting physicochemical properties and great prospects in manifold applications as suitable materials within the rising field of carbon-based magnetism. A potential route to induce magnetism in NGs is the introduction of structural defects, for instance non-benzenoid rings, in their honeycomb lattice. Here, we report the on-surface synthesis of three open-shell non-benzenoid NGs (A1, A2 and A3 ) on the Au(111) surface. A1 and A2 contain two five-and one seven-membered rings within their benzenoid backbone, while A3 incorporates one five-membered ring. Their structures and electronic properties have been investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy, noncontact atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy complemented with theoretical calculations. Our results provide access to openshell NGs with a combination of non-benzenoid topologies previously precluded by conventional synthetic proceduresThis project has received funding from Comunidad de Madrid [projects QUIMTRONICCM (Y2018/NMT-4783), MAD2D, and NanoMagCost], and Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades (projects SpOrQuMat, CTQ2017-83531-R, PID2019-108532GB-I00, and CTQ2016-81911- REDT).

    Engineering periodic dinuclear lanthanide-directed networks featuring tunable energy level alignment and magnetic anisotropy by metal exchange

    The design of lanthanide multinuclear networks is an emerging field of research due to the potential of such materials for nanomagnetism, spintronics, and quantum information. Therefore, controlling their electronic and magnetic properties is of paramount importance to tailor the envisioned functionalities. In this work, a multidisciplinary study is presented combining scanning tunneling microscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray linear dichroism, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, density functional theory, and multiplet calculations, about the supramolecular assembly, electronic and magnetic properties of periodic dinuclear 2D networks based on lanthanide-pyridyl interactions on Au(111). Er- and Dy-directed assemblies feature identical structural architectures stabilized by metal–organic coordination. Notably, despite exhibiting the same +3 oxidation state, there is a shift of the energy level alignment of the unoccupied molecular orbitals between Er- and Dy-directed networks. In addition, there is a reorientation of the easy axis of magnetization and an increment of the magnetic anisotropy when the metallic center is changed from Er to Dy. Thus, the results show that it is feasible to tune the energy level alignment and magnetic anisotropy of a lanthanide-based metal-organic architecture by metal exchange, while preserving the network desig

    On-Surface Thermal Stability of a Graphenic Structure Incorporating a Tropone Moiety

    On-surface synthesis, complementary to wet chemistry, has been demonstrated to be a valid approach for the synthesis of tailored graphenic nanostructures with atomic precision. Among the different existing strategies used to tune the optoelectronic and magnetic properties of these nanostructures, the introduction of non-hexagonal rings inducing out-of-plane distortions is a promising pathway that has been scarcely explored on surfaces. Here, we demonstrate that non-hexagonal rings, in the form of tropone (cycloheptatrienone) moieties, are thermally transformed into phenyl or cyclopentadienone moieties upon an unprecedented surface-mediated retro–Buchner-type reaction involving a decarbonylation or an intramolecular rearrangement of the CO unit, respectivel

    Tuning the Magnetic Anisotropy of Lanthanides on a Metal Substrate by Metal–Organic Coordination

    Taming the magnetic anisotropy of lanthanides through coordination environments is crucial to take advantage of the lanthanides properties in thermally robust nanomaterials. In this work, the electronic and magnetic properties of Dy-carboxylate metal–organic networks on Cu(111) based on an eightfold coordination between Dy and ditopic linkers are inspected. This surface science study based on scanning probe microscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, complemented with density functional theory and multiplet calculations, reveals that the magnetic anisotropy landscape of the system is complex. Surface-supported metal–organic coordination is able to induce a change in the orientation of the easy magnetization axis of the Dy coordinative centers as compared to isolated Dy atoms and Dy clusters, and significantly increases the magnetic anisotropy. Surprisingly, Dy atoms coordinated in the metallosupramolecular networks display a nearly in-plane easy magnetization axis despite the out-of-plane symmetry axis of the coordinative molecular lattice. Multiplet calculations highlight the decisive role of the metal–organic coordination, revealing that the tilted orientation is the result of a very delicate balance between the interaction of Dy with O atoms and the precise geometry of the crystal field. This study opens new avenues to tailor the magnetic anisotropy and magnetic moments of lanthanide elements on surfaces.The ALBA synchrotron is acknowledged for providing beam time at BOREAS beamline (proposal number 2015091454).

    A Trapezoidal Octacyanoquinoid Acceptor Forms Solution and Surface Products by Antiparallel Shape Fitting with Conformational Dipole Momentum Switch

    A new compound (1) formed by two antiparallelly disposed tetracyano thienoquinoidal units has been synthesized and studied by electrochemistry, UV/Vis-NIR, IR, EPR, and transient spectroscopy. Self-assembly of 1 on a Au(111) surface has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. Experiments have been rationalized by quantum chemical calculations. 1 exhibits a unique charge distribution in its anionic form, with a gradient of charge yielding a neat molecular in-plane electric dipole momentum, which transforms out-of-plane after surface deposition due to twisted! folded conformational change and to partial charge transfer from Au(111). Intermolecular van der Waals interactions and antiparallel trapezoidal shape fitting lead to the formation of an optimal dense on Au(111) two-dimensional assembly of 1. The realization of novel properties emerging upon electronic covalent coupling between chromophores (i.e., bichromophoric systems) is a critical issue for the development of photo- and electrically active systems.[1–3] In this regard, the relative topology and orientation of the p-subchromophores, such as in A + B type p-systems in Figure 1, with 1D linear conjugation, 2D parallel conjugation,[4] 3D orthogonal spiroconjugation[5] or 3D conjugation[6] are key factors. On the other hand, studies of the distribution of the excess of charge in p-conjugated moieties in post-electron transfer events are central issues in photophysics and photochemistry, in energy storage[7] and in organic electronics.[8] In addition to this electronic provision, its embedment in different molecular forms is of relevance as these can define unique ways of shape fitting in supramolecular and surface assemblies. Joint electronic and molecular shape designs thus allow to build molecular-based synthons in a tailored manner towards new bulk and nano organized materials.

    On-surface polyarylene synthesis by cycloaromatization of isopropyl substituents

    Get PDF
    Immobilization of organic molecules on metal surfaces and their coupling via thermally induced C–C bond formation is an important technique in organic and polymer synthesis. Using this approach, insoluble and reactive carbon nanostructures can be synthesized and the reactions monitored in situ using scanning probe microscopy methods. The diversity of conceivable products, however, is limited by the number and variety of known on-surface reactions. Here, we introduce the on-surface synthesis of polyarylenes by intermolecular oxidative coupling of isopropyl substituents of arenes. This [3+3] dimerization reaction forms a new phenylene ring and can be regarded as a formal cycloaromatization. The synthetic value of this reaction is proved by the synthesis of polyarylenes and co-polyarylenes, which we demonstrate by synthesizing poly(2,7-pyrenylene-1,4-phenylene). Scanning tunnelling microscopy and non-contact atomic force microscopy studies, complemented by density functional theory calculations, offer mechanistic insight into the on-surface cycloaromatization reaction

    The atomically precise control over the size, shape and structure of nanographenes (NGs) or the introduction of heteroatom dopants into their sp2-carbon lattice confer them valuable electronic, optical and magnetic properties. Herein, we report on the design and synthesis of a hexabenzocoronene derivative embedded with graphitic nitrogen in its honeycomb lattice, achieved via on-surface assisted cyclodehydrogenation on the Au(111) surface. Combined scanning tunnelling microscopy/spectroscopy and non-contact atomic force microscopy investigations unveil the chemical and electronic structures of the obtained dicationic NG. Kelvin probe force microscopy measurements reveal a considerable variation of the local contact potential difference toward lower values with respect to the gold surface, indicative of its positive net charge. Altogether, we introduce the concept of cationic nitrogen doping of NGs on surfaces, opening new avenues for the design of novel carbon nanostructure
