説明:
(abstract)We report a molecular-scale study of a one-dimensional coordination polymer formed on a Cu(111) surface. A tailored ligand, 2,7-dicyano-9,9-dimethylfluorene (DCF), was designed to reduce interactions with the surface while enabling directional coordination with Cu adatoms. Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals that the resulting DCF-Cu polymer exhibits pronounced flexibility dominated by the CN-Cu–CN coordination angle, which constitutes the primary internal degree of freedom governing the overall chain geometry. Temperature-dependent measurements show the onset of thermal motion above ~40 K for linear chain segments, whereas three-coordinated branches remain immobile up to 71 K, functioning as molecular-scale cross-links. These results directly connect polymer physics concepts with single-molecule motions on surfaces.
