Abstract:In recent years, it has become possible via on‐surface bottom‐up synthesis to engineer the topological character of carbon nanostructures. Graphene nanoribbons and 1D conjugated polymers (1DCPs) have thus tailored so as to host either topologically trivial or non‐trivial phases. Molecular design is the primary means to set the topological class of these nanomaterials. However, external control over topology is also demonstrated via electric fields or top‐down hydrogenation. Inspired by the connection between t… Show more
