ON-SURFACE SYNTHESIS

Making 2D topological polymers a reality

Nature Materials volume 19, pages 823–824 (2020)Cite this article

Subjects

First-principles calculations predicted electronic topological properties for 2D honeycomb–kagome polymers, which have been now confirmed experimentally thanks to improvements in on-surface synthesis.
