Popis: | A route to generate cyclacenes by on-surface synthesis is explored. We started by synthesizing two tetraepoxycyclacenes by sequences of Diels–Alder cycloadditions. Subsequently, these molecules were deposited onto Cu(111) and scanning-tunneling-microscopy(STM)-based atom manipulation was employed to dissociate the oxygen atoms. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) with CO-functionalized tips enabled the detailed characterization of the reaction products and revealed that, at most, two oxygens per molecule could be removed. Importantly, our experimental results suggest that the generation of cyclacenes by the described route might be possible for larger epoxycyclacenes We acknowledge financial support by the ERC Consolidator Grant AMSEL (682144), the Agencia Estatal de Investigaciln (MAT2016-78293-C6-3-R and CTQ2016-78157-R), Xunta de Galicia (Centro singular de investigación de Galicia, accreditation 2016-2019, ED431G/09), and the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER).
