On-surface synthesis of planar dendrimers via divergent cross-coupling reaction

Although many strategies exist to synthesize dendrimers in solution, the synthesis of planar dendrimers on a surface has proven challenging. Here, the authors produce planar dendrimers through a divergent on-surface cross-coupling reaction between one aryl bromide and two isocyanides, which enables...
