From small aromatic molecules to functional nanostructured carbon by pulsed laser-induced photochemical stitching
A novel route employing UV laser pulses (KrF Excimer, 248 nm) to cleave small aromatic molecules and stitch the generated free radicals into functional nanostructured forms of carbon is introduced. The process differs distinctly from any strategies wherein the aromatic rings are broken in the prima...
