title: On-surface formation of two-dimensional polymer via direct C-H activation of metal phthalocyanine.
abstract: From high-resolution UHV-STM imaging and DFT calculations we successfully obtained a 2D polymer structure formed through direct C-H activation followed by an aryl-aryl coupling of a metal-phthalocyanine (CoPc) on Ag(110).
