On-Surface Friedel-Crafts Alkylation Through a Stabilized Intermediate Complex.
The incorporation of sp 3 -hybridized carbon centers into planar sp 2 carbon nanostructures is a powerful strategy in solution chemistry for tuning their electronic and structural properties. While on-surface synthesis has demonstrated efficient coupling strategies for sp 2 systems, C s p 3 ─ C s p 2 bond formation on...
