Stepwise on-surface dissymmetric reaction to construct binodal organometallic network

Dissymmetric functionalization of equivalent sites in a molecule is a synthetic challenge. Here, the authors achieve an on-surface dissymmetric reaction of a molecular precursor through stepwise activation of its identical functional groups, leading to the formation of a 2D organometallic network wi...
