af Selected sequence of molecular transformations from 1 to 2 and vice versa, enabled by specific scanning conditions: (i) Vb =  5 mV, It =  20 pA, (ii) Vb =   − 1.5 V, It =  20 pA. Scanning parameters: Vb =   − 1.5 V, It =  20 pA (a, c, e), Vb =   − 0.2 V, It =  20 pA (b, d, f). Scale bars = 1 nm.
