Abstract
Control over the competition between an organometallic hexamer macrocycle and oligomer chains formed from the non-alternant aromatic 1,3-dibromoazulene (DBAz) precursor has been achieved in surface-assisted synthesis on a copper(111) surface. In contrast to kinetic reaction control via the high-dilution principle, the ring formation is achieved here by thermodynamic control, which is based on two-dimensional (2D) confinement and reversible bonds.
