Observation of SOMO-HOMO inversion in a polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbon
Shantanu Mishra, Manuel Vilas-Varela, Shadi Fatayer +3
We report the generation of a non-benzenoid polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbon, which consists of a biphenyl moiety substituted by indenyl units at the 4,4' positions, on ultra-thin…
Bistability between -diradical open-shell and closed-shell states in indeno[1,2-a]fluorene
Shantanu Mishra, Manuel Vilas-Varela, Leonard-Alexander Lieske +7
Indenofluorenes are non-benzenoid conjugated hydrocarbons that have received great interest owing to their unusual electronic structure and potential applications in non-linear opt…
Selectivity in single-molecule reactions by tip-induced redox chemistry
Florian Albrecht, Shadi Fatayer, Iago Pozo +4
Controlling selectivity of reactions is a quest in chemistry. Here, we demonstrate reversible and selective bond formation and dissociation promoted by tip-induced reduction-oxidat…
Non-benzenoid high-spin polycyclic hydrocarbons generated by atom manipulation
Shantanu Mishra, Shadi Fatayer, Saleta Fernandez +3
We report the on-surface synthesis of a non-benzenoid triradical through dehydrogenation of truxene (C27H18) on coinage metal and insulator surfaces. Voltage pulses applied via the…
Probing molecular excited states by atomic force microscopy
Shadi Fatayer, Florian Albrecht, Ivano Tavernelli +3
By employing single charge injections with an atomic force microscope, we investigated redox reactions of a molecule on a multilayer insulating film. First, we charged the molecule…
Intramolecular coupling of terminal alkynes by atom manipulation
Florian Albrecht, Dulce Rey, Shadi Fatayer +4
Glaser-like coupling of terminal alkynes by thermal activation is extensively used in on-surface chemistry. Here we demonstrate an intramolecular version of this reaction performed…
Molecular structure elucidation with charge-state control
Shadi Fatayer, Florian Albrecht, Yunlong Zhang +4
The charge state of a molecule governs its physicochemical properties, such as conformation, reactivity and aromaticity, with implications for on-surface synthesis, catalysis, phot…
