On-Surface Cyclization of ortho-Dihalotetracenes to Four- and Six-Membered Rings.

We report on the surface-catalyzed formal [2+2] and [2+2+2] cycloadditions of ortho-activated tetracene species on a Ag(111) substrate under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Three different products are obtained: tetracene dimers, trimers, and tetramers. The former results from the formation of a four-m...
