报告摘要：

On-surface precision chemistry performed with low-temperature STM and AFM allows to develop unique chemical reaction schemes such as orthogonal- and surface catalyzed reactions with are not achievable with conventional liquid- or gas phase reactions. Beyond a number of useful on-surface reactions including polymer formation etc., we found a fascinating new and powerful route of on-surface chemistry which allows to set up a novel strategy for the generation of intelligent functional systems. N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are binding covalently to a single noble metal atom e.g. on Au(111) surface. Depending on the type of their N-ligands, NHCs the are essentially immobilized vertically by a single surface atom, forming unidirectional rotators, or are able to fully pull a single atom out of the surface and then travel on this newly formed ad-atom in the so-called ‘ballbot’- motion type across the surface. We discovered that on an Au(1x2) reconstructed surface ballbot-NHCs are able to autonomously re-organize the surface atom by atom in a ‘swarm-like’ manor. Recent experiments revealed the possibility to generate linear polymer-NHCs using halogenated ballbot NHCs.
