Dry Thienylation of the Silicon (111)-(7 × 7) Surface

Chemical manipulation of multifunctional hydrocarbons on silicon surfaces

“…The aromaticity of benzene, thiophene, furan, and chlorobenzene [307,[317][318][319]321,322,325,380,381] is broken upon adsorption on Si(111)-7×7 surface and the mechanism is proposed to involve a molecular precursor and a [4 + 2] addition. Two important things should be mentioned here.…”
