title: Protecting-group-controlled surface chemistry-organization and heat-induced coupling of 4,4'-di(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)biphenyl on metal surfaces.
abstract: Like pearls on a string, molecular building blocks have been preorganized and then interlinked on a surface (see STM images). In this way both the supramolecular self-assembly of the reactants as well as the subsequent thermal activation to release the protecting group are controlled.
