Abstract

Control on the formation of a two-dimensional polymer could be achieved in two different ways. Manipulation with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope allowed for assigning the localization of the polymerization reaction. Additionally, electron irradiation could accelerate greatly the reaction kinetics.
