New paper in Nature Chemistry: We find that on-surface radical ring-opening polymerization of [6]CPP on Cu(111), produces near micrometer-long poly(para-phenylene) (PPP) chains — far beyond typical polymer lengths obtained by On-Surface Synthesis. 🔗 nature.com/articles/s41557-0… 1/4

Our latest work in @NanoLetters about a porous graphene nanoribbon and how pores influence the electronic structure. The non-porous regions determine the electronic properties! Great collaboration with @QitangF, @JoseM_C_ and others. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Cyclocarbon C18 (doubly aromatic) is a freak, C16 (doubly anti-aromatic) a superfreak, C13 is the freakiest of them all: triplet ground state, more or less delocalized carbene center, and neither Baird's nor Hueckel's rule can be applied. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Metal centers in adsorbed metalloporphyrins easily exchange with surface metal atoms, as shown by XPS, STM, TPR mass spectra. Thanks to @nanoscale_rsc and #SFB1083, congrats to Jan, Stefan, Qitang, et al.! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…
