On-surface single molecule synthesis chemistry: a promising bottom-up approach towards functional surfaces

Abstract

In this review, we introduce recent progress on surface synthesis and focus on supramolecular self-assembled structures driven by several typical chemical reactions at solid surfaces, with the aid of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We also emphasize the relationship between the non-covalent self-assembly and surface reactivity, by which we hope to find an effective way for further controllable nano-manufacture.
