Abstract

On-surface synthesis has become a very promising bottom-up approach to obtain a functional surface with designable chemical structures. Dynamic covalent chemistry is an interesting reaction strategy to form thermodynamically controlled products utilizing the reversible covalent bond as linkage, which can be formed, broken, and reformed during the reaction and therefore provide an incidence of error-checking and self-healing. In this chapter, we focused on the surface-assisted synthesis of molecular nanostructures using dynamic covalent linkers. By proper tuning the on-surface dynamic covalent reaction processes, highly ordered covalent bond connected nanostructures can be obtained on surfaces.
