On-surface cyclization of vinyl groups on poly-para-phenylene involving an unusual pentagon to hexagon transformation

Abstract On-surface synthesis relies on carefully designed molecular precursors that are thermally activated to afford desired, covalently coupled architectures. Here, we study the intramolecular reactions of vinyl groups in a poly-para-phenylene-based model system and provide a comprehensive descri...
