LT‐STM (T = 5 K) 50 nm × 50 nm images on Cu(111) of high‐sub‐monolayer coverages for a) IMe‐NHC (Vs = −1.7 V and It = 50 pA) and d) IMe‐NHO (Vs = −1.2 V and It = 35 pA). The white lines represent the orientation of the Cu(111) crystal. b, e) Zoomed in images of IMe‐NHC and IMe‐NHO, respectively. c, f) A schematic representation of the binding configurations on the Cu(111) surface.

N‐Heterocyclic olefins (NHOs), possessing highly polarizable and remarkably electron‐rich double bonds, have been effectively utilized as exceptional anchors for surface modifications. Herein, the adsorption, orientation, and electronic properties of NHOs on a metal surface are investigated. On Cu(111), the sterically low‐demanding IMe‐NHO is compa...

Topotactic chemical reaction (TCR) is a chemical process that transforms one crystalline phase to another while maintaining one or more of the original structural frameworks, typically induced by the local insertion, removal, or replacement of atoms in a crystal. The utilization of TCR in atomic-layer materials and surfaces of bulk crystals leads t...
