On-Surface Assembly of Hydrogen- and Halogen-Bonded Supramolecular Graphyne-Like Networks.

ABSTRACT: Demonstrated here is a supramolecular approach to fabricate highly ordered monolayered hydrogen- and halogen-bonded graphyne-like two-dimensional (2D) materials from triethynyltriazine derivatives on Au(111) and Ag(111). The 2D networks are stabilized by N⋅⋅⋅H-C(sp) bonds and N⋅⋅⋅Br-C(sp) bonds to the triazine core. The structural properties and the binding energies of the supramolecular graphynes have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy in combination with density-functional theory calculations. It is revealed that the N⋅⋅⋅Br-C(sp) bonds lead to significantly stronger bonded networks compared to the hydrogen-bonded networks. A systematic analysis of the binding energies of triethynyltriazine and triethynylbenzene derivatives further demonstrates that the X3 -synthon, which
