Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates how adsorbed bromine atoms on a gold surface influence the geometric isomer selectivity in surface-bound coupling reactions, specifically using the Ullmann-like coupling of dibromophenanthrenequinone (DBPQ).
  • The presence of bromine creates a new adsorbate surface that directs the formation of specific isomers, leading to a preference for radical trans dimers in comparison to the cis form observed on a clean gold surface.
  • This method of controlling stereoselectivity via surface bromine networks offers a promising approach to tailor the formation of desired nanoarchitectures and complex structures in surface chemistry processes.]
