cited By 15; International audience; The bottom-up construction of functional devices from molecular building blocks offers great potential in tailoring materials properties and functionality with utmost control. An important step toward exploiting bottom-up construction for real-life applications is the creation of covalently bonded structures that provide sufficient stability as well as superior charge transport properties over reversibly linked self-assembled structures. On-surface synthesis has emerged as a promising strategy for fabricating stable, covalently bound molecular structure on surfaces. So far, a majority of the structures created by this method have been obtained from a rat…
