Emergence of π-Magnetism in Fused Aza-Triangulenes: Symmetry and Charge Transfer Effects
Jan Patrick Calupitan, Alejandro Berdonces-Layunta, Fernando Aguilar-Galindo +6
On-surface synthesis has paved the way towards the fabrication and characterization of conjugated carbon-based molecular materials that exhibit π-magnetism such as triangulenes. Az…
Aza-Triangulene: On-Surface Synthesis, Electronic and Magnetic Properties
Tao Wang, Alejandro Berdonces-Layunta, Niklas Friedrich +7
Nitrogen heteroatom doping into a triangulene molecule allows tuning its magnetic state. However, the synthesis of the nitrogen-doped triangulene (aza-triangulene) has been challen…
Magnetic Interactions Between Radical Pairs in Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons
Tao Wang, Sofia Sanz, Jesús Castro-Esteban +8
Magnetic graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have become promising candidates for future applications, including quantum technologies. Here, we characterize magnetic states hosted by chira…
Band structure and energy level alignment of chiral graphene nanoribbons on silver surfaces
Martina Corso, Rodrigo E. Menchón, Ignacio Piquero-Zulaica +5
Chiral graphene nanoribbons are extremely interesting structures due to their low bandgaps and potential development of spin-polarized edge states. Here, we study their band struct…
Circumventing the Stability Problems of Graphene Nanoribbon Zigzag Edges
James Lawrence, Alejandro Berdonces-Layunta, Shayan Edalatmanesh +7
Carbon nanostructures with zigzag edges exhibit unique properties with exciting potential applications. Such nanostructures are generally synthesized under vacuum because their zig…
Substrate-Independent Growth of Atomically Precise Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons
Dimas G. de Oteyza, Aran Garcia-Lekue, Manuel Vilas-Varela +10
Contributing to the need of new graphene nanoribbon (GNR) structures that can be synthesized with atomic precision, we have designed a reactant that renders chiral (3,1) - GNRs aft…

Understanding the nature and hierarchy of on surface reactions is a major chal- lenge for designing coordination and covalent nanostructures by means of multistep synthetic routes.…
Bottom up synthesis of multifunctional nanoporous graphene
César Moreno, Manuel Vilas-Varela, Bernhard Kretz +8
Nanosize pores can turn semimetallic graphene into a semiconductor and from being impermeable into the most efficient molecular sieve membrane. However, scaling the pores down to t…
Tunable Band Alignment with Unperturbed Carrier Mobility of On-Surface Synthesized Organic Semiconducting Wires
Andrea Basagni, Guillaume Vasseur, Carlo A. Pignedoli +10
The tunable properties of molecular materials place them among the favorites for a variety of future generation devices. In addition, to maintain the current trend of miniaturizati…
