Abstract: Upon deposition on a surface, molecules can undergo a plethora of changes, such as reactions with adsorbates, surface atoms and catalytic decomposition. Since different reaction pathways may coexist, spatially averaging...

Expanded phthalocyanines are a promising class of materials for optoelectronic applications, owing to their unique properties and versatile metal coordination reactivity. The expansion of their π-electron systems and resulting red-shifted absorption are of particular interest for achieving broader applications. Here, we report the on-surface synthesis of metallo-phthalocyanines with extended electron systems and an open-chain polycyanine from ortho-dicarbonitrile precursors on Ag(111) and Au(111), studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The larger 6,7-di(2-naphthyl)-2,3-naphthalenedicarbonitrile (NND) undergoes spontaneous cyclotetramerization on the Ag(111) surface forming the corresponding silver naphthalocyanines (Ag-NPc), contrasting previous reports where a partially aliphatic ortho-dicarbonitrile precursor formed polycyanine chains. In contrast, monolayers of the smaller 6,7-diphenyl-2,3-naphthalenedicarbonitrile (PND) form the corresponding naphthalocyanine only in the presence of co-adsorbed iron atoms (Fe-NPc). In the absence of iron, PND multilayers form polycyanine chains and Ag-NPc. NND and PND further differ in their reactivity due to the supramolecular behavior of their products. While the larger Ag-NPc aggregates to non-covalent one-dimensional ribbons, the smaller Fe-NPc forms an extended non-covalent two-dimensional network. Our study demonstrates the versatility of on-surface dinitrile tetramerization for the synthesis of π-extended cyclic phthalocyanines and their open-chain polycyanine counterparts.
