Abstract
  • We studied the formation of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) via the self-assembly of 10,10?-dibromo-9,9?-bianthryl precursor molecules on gold surfaces with different synchrotron spectroscopies. Through X-ray photoemission spectroscopy core-level shifts, we followed each step of the synthetic process, and could show that the Br-C bonds of the precursors cleave at temperatures as low as 100 °C on both Au(111) and Au(110). We established that the resulting radicals bind to Au, forming Au-C and Au-Br bonds. We show that the polymerization of the precursors follows Br desorption from Au, suggesting that the presence of halogens is the limiting factor in this step. Finally, with angle-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory we show that the GNR/Au interaction results in an upshift of the Shockley surface state of Au(111) by [similar]0.14 eV, together with an increased electron effective mass.
