Abstract
We investigated the reactivity of a gem-dichlorovinyl-carbazole precursor in the on-surface synthesis approach. Our findings reveal that, on the Au(111) surface, the thermally-induced dehalogenation reaction led to the formation of cumulene dimers. Contrastingly, the more reactive Cu(111) surface promoted the formation of a polyheterocyclic compound exhibiting extended aromaticity. The latter was found to be related to the dehydrogenation of the amine groups, which did not occur on Au(111), thus promoting the different reactivity observed. At higher annealing temperature, selective C-H activation led to the formation of well-defined organometallic chains. In addition, we found that the amine complexation with metal adatom on Cu(111) was an inhibiting factor for the dimerization reaction, a challenge that could be overcome through proper control of the deposition conditions.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
