Single molecular chemistry with scanning probe microscopy

Atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy with a CO tip terminated allows us to observe inner structures of molecules. This high-resolution imaging is beneficial to investigate on-surface chemistry. We have studied single molecules, self-assemblies, and surface reaction as well as syntheses of structural nano-carbon materials on surfaces with high-resolution scanning probe microscopy. For instance, boron-doped graphene nanoribbon (GNR) and boron and nitrogen doped GNR have been synthesized. Beside such the planar GNRs, three-dimensional GNR has been also realized and used as a playground for local probe chemistry. In this presentation, I will present our recent activities with high-resolution atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy.
