Emergence of π-magnetism in open-shell nanographenes has been theoretically predicted
decades ago but their experimental characterization was elusive due to the strong chemical …

Nitrogen heteroatom doping into a triangulene molecule allows tuning its magnetic state.
However, the synthesis of the nitrogen-doped triangulene (aza-triangulene) has been …

The development of functional organic molecules requires structures of increasing size and
complexity, which are typically obtained by the covalent coupling of smaller building blocks …

The synthesis of long n‐peri‐acenes (n‐PAs) is challenging as a result of their inherent
open‐shell radical character, which arises from the presence of parallel zigzag edges …

Carbon nanostructures with zigzag edges exhibit unique properties—such as localized
electronic states and spins—with exciting potential applications. Such nanostructures …

Acenes, the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with linearly fused benzene
rings, possess distinctive electronic properties with potential applicability in material science …

Precisely introducing topological defects is an important strategy in nanographene crystal
engineering because defects can tune π‐electronic structures and control molecular …

Combining on-surface synthetic methods with the power of scanning tunneling microscopy
to characterize novel materials at the single molecule level, we show how to steer the …

Strongly interacting electrons in layered materials give rise to a plethora of emergent
phenomena, such as unconventional superconductivity. heavy fermions, and spin textures …

This first chapter starts with a brief review of the most relevant points about electronic
devices at the nanoscale. Then, we introduce the manufacturing bottom-up technique used …
