On-Surface Synthesis of a Low Bandgap Cyclopenta[ c , d ]azulene-Based Polymer

Abstract Nonbenzenoid topologies offer a compelling strategy to tailor the electronic properties of low-dimensional carbon materials. Here, we report the on-surface synthesis of a nonalternant polymer incorporating a [7–5–5] cyclopenta[c,d]azulene (CPA) motif on Au(111) via therm...
