Substrate-molecule decoupling induced by self-assembly—Implications for graphene nanoribbon fabrication

Interactions between organic molecules and metal surfaces are often very strong, resulting in the loss of well-defined frontier orbitals on the molecule due to electronic hybridization with the surface. In this paper, we use theoretical calculations to show that the interaction between graphene nano...
