Probing weak chemical interactions of metal surface atoms with CO-terminated AFM tips identifies molecular adsorption sites

Abstract Metal surfaces play a key role in on-surface synthesis as they provide a two-dimensional catalytic reaction environment that stimulates activation, diffusion, and coupling of molecular reactants. Fundamental understanding of the interactions between surface atoms and reactants is very limit...
