title: Side-functionalized two-dimensional polymers synthesized via on-surface Schiff-base coupling.
abstract: An imine-based 2D polymer side-functionalized with o-hydroxyl group was designed in regard to its potential ability to serve as a chelating agent and synthesized on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface with a relatively low annealing temperature. When annealed to a higher temperature the o-hydroxyl group reacts further with the imine group, leading to the formation of oxazoline, which causes significant distortion to the network. The formation of oxazoline was further confirmed by ATR-FTIR.
