Oxygen-promoted on-surface synthesis of polyboroxine moleculesToffoli, Daniele (Avtor) Kladnik, Gregor (Avtor) Cvetko, Dean (Avtor) physical chemistryWe present a protocol for the on-surface synthesis of polyboroxine molecules derived from boroxine molecules precursors. This process is promoted by oxygen species present on the Au(111) surface: oxygen atoms facilitate the detachment of naphthalene units of trinaphthyl-boroxine molecules and bridge two unsaturated boroxine centers to form a boroxine-O-boroxine chemical motif. X-ray spectroscopic characterization shows that, as the synthesis process proceeds, it progressively tunes the electronic properties of the interface, thus providing a promising route to control the electron level alignment.20242025-12-12 13:20:08Članek v reviji176879UDK: 544ISSN pri članku: 0947-6539DOI: 10.1002/chem.202401565COBISS_ID: 223124227sl
