Molecular-Scale Observation of Flexibility and Thermal Motions in Surface-Coordinated Polymers

We report a molecular-scale study of a one-dimensional coordination polymer formed on a Cu(111) surface. A tailored ligand, 2,7-dicyano-9,9-dimethylfluorene (DCF), was designed to reduce interactions with the surface while enabling directional coordination with Cu adatoms. Scanni...
