Abdurakhmanova, NasibaAmsharov, NadjaStepanow, SebastianJansen, MartinKern, KlausArnsharov, Konstantin2014-10-232014-10-232014-10-23201410.1016/j.carbon.2014.06.010https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/107632WOS:000340689400126The exploration of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and understanding of the structure-property relationship requires the synthesis of GNRs with precisely controllable architecture. In this communication we report on bottom-up fabrication of wide armchair GNR from a para-oligophenylene based molecular precursor. The obtained GNR represents the widest rationally synthesized GNR up to now. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
