Abstract

The on-surface dimerization reaction of an organic nitrile on Au(111) is reported. The formation of the product, which contains five newly formed σ-bonds and a diazapyrene core structure, was investigated and characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy. Experimental and computational studies of reference compounds support our findings.
