Abstract

Abstract : On‐surface chemistry, sometimes also called two‐dimensional chemistry, shows great potential for bottom‐up preparation of defined nanostructures. In contrast to traditional organic synthesis, where reactions are generally conducted in well‐defined reaction flasks in solution, on‐surface chemistry is performed in the cavity of a scanning probe microscope on a metal crystal under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. New developments in this exciting interdisciplinary field are discussed in the Review by A. Studer et al. onpage 5874 ff.
