Thermally-induced nickelocene fragmentation and one-dimensional chain assembly on Au(111)
Communications Chemistry, Published online: 17 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s42004-025-01511-4Metallocene molecules are known to fragment upon surface deposition, leading to complex molecular reorganization during surface adsorption. Here, thermally-induced nickelocene fragmentation is observed on Au(111), where NiCp fragments self-assemble into 1D chains, suggesting temperature-driven molecular dissociation as a potential route for fabricating surface-assembled nanostructures.
