Cyclotrimerization of arylalkynes on Au(111)

Abstract

Surface-assisted cyclotrimerization of arylalkynes was studied on Au(111) by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Upon thermal activation, cyclotrimerization of 1,3,5-tris-(4-ethynylphenyl)benzene proceeds readily and with high selectivity, and results in two-dimensional covalently bonded polyphenylene nanostructures exhibiting a honeycomb topology.
