Single atom catalysts, comprising minute amounts of transition metals dispersed on inert substrates, have emerged as prominent materials in heterogenous catalysis but their precise arrangement on surfaces is challenging. Here, the authors introduce the on-surface synthesis of a single atom platform wherein atoms are firmly anchored to specific coordination sites evenly distributed along carbon-based polymers.
