On-Surface Synthesis II: Proceedings of the International Workshop On-Surface Synthesis, San Sebastian, 27-30 June 2016

On-surface synthesis is a promising strategy to create organic nanoarchitectures with atomic precision, using molecular building blocks with functional groups dosed onto surfaces. This approach creates a new scenario complementary to conventional chemistry, with surface confinement and lack of solvents. The book aims at students and researchers interested in nanochemistry, surface science, supramolecular materials, and molecular devices.

On-surface synthesis emerges as a highly promising approach to fabricate organic nanoarchitectures with remarkable precision at the atomic level. Molecular building blocks, equipped with suitable functional groups, are strategically positioned on surfaces that either facilitate or actively promote their covalent bonding. The unique confinement provided by surfaces and the absence of solvents, commonly achieved under vacuum conditions, presents a completely novel scenario that complements conventional chemistry in distinctive ways.

In a simplified and up-to-date manner, this volume aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the field, encompassing fundamental reaction mechanisms, innovative synthetic strategies, and the ultimate growth and characterization of functional materials. This multidisciplinary volume appeals to students and researchers with interests in nanochemistry, surface science, supramolecular materials, and molecular devices.

The chapters of this book delve into mechanistic insights into surface-supported chemical reactions, exploring the intricacies of reactions occurring on and within graphene layers using scanning probe microscopy techniques. Additionally, it showcases bottom-up fabrication of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons, highlighting the latest advancements in this field.
