On-Surface Synthesis II: Proceedings of the International Workshop On-Surface Synthesis, San Sebasti�n, 27-30 June 2016

On-surface synthesis is appearing as an extremely promising strategy to create organic nanoarchitectures with atomic precision. Molecular building blocks holding adequate functional groups are dosed onto surfaces that support or even drive their covalent linkage. The surface confinement and the frequent lack of solvents (most commonly being performed under vacuum conditions) create a completely new scenario fully complementary to conventional chemistry.

In a pedagogical way and based on the...
