On-Surface Synthesis

Part of the book series: Advances in Atom and Single Molecule Machines ((AASMM))

Abstract

This article covers aspects of the on-surface synthesis of large molecular systems, in particular metal complexes, organometallic compounds, and organic molecules. It is shown that this approach is especially useful if the desired molecular species are too large or thermally unstable for vapor deposition, or when their synthesis in solution is not possible. Another advantage is the possible formation of well-ordered two-dimensional network structures with a hybrid covalent/van der Waals bonding scheme. The first part of the article focuses on the on-surface synthesis of metalloporphyrins, metallocorroles, and metallophthalocyanines by direct metalation of the respective ligand molecules with coadsorbed metal atoms. The underlying metalation reaction proceeds with high yields and without by-products except hydrogen, which readily desorbs. The second part is devoted to the on-surface synthesis of hydrocarbon macrocycles by means of the surface Ullmann reaction and also discusses the organometallic reaction intermediates with C–Cu–C bonds.
