On-Surface Synthesis of Polypyridine: Strain Enforces Extended Linear Chains

Strain-induced on-surface transformations provide an appealing route to steer the selectivity towards desired products. Here, we demonstrate the selective on-surface synthesis of extended all-<i>trans</i> poly(2,6-pyridine) chains on Au(111). By combining high-resolution scanning tunneli...
