New paper in ACS Nano!

The work "On-Surface Synthesis and Characterization of Radical Spins in Kagome Graphene" by Rémy Pawlak et al. is accepted in ACS Nano! We show zero-energy states into a semiconducting Kagome graphene by inserting π- radicals at selected locations. We utilize the on-surface reaction of tribromotrioxoazatriangulene molecules to synthesize carbonyl-functionalized Kagome graphene on Au(111), thereafter modified in situ by exposure to atomic hydrogen.
