Abstract

Abstract : By a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy imaging and density functional theory calculations, dehalogenation processes of symmetric polyhalogenated benzenes were explored on Ag(111), with sets of intermediate states visualized in real space. Abstract : By a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy imaging and density functional theory calculations, dehalogenation processes of symmetric polyhalogenated benzenes were explored on Ag(111), and a series of intermediate states were captured and visualized in real space. These results reveal a sequential dehalogenation scenario of symmetric polybrominated aromatics, which will broaden the understanding of on-surface dehalogenation reactions.
