Atomic scale imaging of reversible ring cyclization in graphene nanoconstrictions

Abstract:

We present an atomic level study of reversible cyclization processes in suspended nanoconstricted regions of graphene that form linear carbon chains (LCCs). Before the nanoconstricted region reaches a single linear carbon chain (SLCC), we observe that a double linear carbon chain (DLCC) structure often reverts back to a ribbon of sp2 hybridized oligoacene rings, in a process akin to the Bergman rearrangement. When the length of the DLCC system only consists of ∼5 atoms in each LCC, full recyc...
