Formation and deposition of polymer nanostructures on surfaces

In this thesis different routes to the formation of extended two-dimensional polymers via on-surface coupling reactions are presented. Polyphenylene networks formed by the molecules tri-(bromo-phenyl)-benzene via on-surface Ullmann coupling reactions are investigated with scanning tunnelling microsc...
