Substrate‐Selective Temperature‐Controlled Synthesis of Thiophene Derivatives at Interfaces

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The deposition of a dithiophene derivative on Ag(111) at room temperature followed by annealing gives rise to molecular wires, whereas the adsorption of the same precursor on a hot substrate affords the formation of benzotrithiophene species. Abstract The temperature‐controlled transformation of organic molecules at interfaces is an incipient yet ...
