On-surface Synthesis and Characterization of Triply-fused Porphyrin-graphene Nanoribbon Hybrids
The covalent fusion of a graphene nanoribbon with porphyrins through on-surface synthetic protocol is reported. The atomically precise structure has been characterized by STM and nc-AFM. The electronic properties have been investigated by STS in combination with DFT calculations, which reveals a low electronic gap of 0.4 eV.
