Fig. 1: On-surface synthesis of tetraphenylethylene macrocycles.
From: On-surface synthesis and spontaneous segregation of conjugated tetraphenylethylene macrocycles
Oligo-tetraphenylethylene macrocycles formed via the on-surface Ullmann coupling reaction of 4,4′-(2,2-diphenylethene-1,1-diyl)bis(bromobenzene) (Br2-TPE) precursor.
