Deskripsi

Heteroatom substitution in larger acenes represents a fundamental step towards precise engineering of the remarkable electronic properties of the acene family. Here, the authors present an on-surface synthesis strategy and detailed characterization for three undecacene analogs substituted with four nitrogen atoms.
