The pith

Gold adatoms incorporate into the growing Kagome polymer lattice as organometallic intermediates on Au(111), while most edges stay brominated up to 250 °C.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper tracks the on-surface Ullmann coupling of tribromotrioxaazatriangulene molecules into covalent Kagome-lattice films using STM and high-resolution AFM. It identifies previously unseen organometallic states in which gold adatoms sit inside the polymer chains during growth. Most polymer edges remain terminated by bromine even at elevated temperatures, and many of those edges also bind gold adatoms next to the bromine. The observations indicate that leftover bromine can stabilize the edges against the gold surface and steer the assembly toward ordered lattices.

Core claim

Using scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy together with density functional theory, we observe unreported organometallic intermediate states in which Au adatoms are incorporated within the growing polymer lattice. A majority of polymer edges remain brominated up to 250 °C, and a large number of edges are bonded to Au adatoms that are coordinated to an adjacent bromine atom. These findings suggest that residual bromine stabilizes polymer edges to Au adatoms and thereby influences the growth pathways that produce ordered Kagome polymer lattices.

What carries the argument

Organometallic intermediates formed by Au adatoms incorporated inside the polymer lattice during on-surface Ullmann coupling

Load-bearing premise

The STM and AFM images are correctly interpreted as showing Au adatoms inside the polymer chains and Br atoms stabilizing the edges, which depends on the accuracy of the DFT structure assignments.

What would settle it

Atomic-resolution images or calculations that show no Au atoms inside the polymer chains at the reported growth stages would falsify the claim of organometallic intermediates.

Kagome lattices provide an exciting space for the exploration of graphene-like $\pi$-conjugated molecular systems with flat bands. Using heterotriangulene-derived precursors, along with an on-surface Ullmann coupling process, makes growing polymers with Kagome lattices accessible and straightforward. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy alongside high-resolution atomic force microscopy to examine the evolution of tribromotrioxaazatriangulene on Au(111) into ordered, covalent films. Using density functional theory and scanning probe methods, we find previously unreported organometallic intermediate states involving Au adatoms incorporated within the growing polymer lattice. We also find that a majority of polymer edges remain brominated up to 250 $^{\circ}$C and a large number of edges bonded to Au adatoms coordinated to an adjacent bromine atom. These observations suggest that residual bromine could play a role in stabilizing the polymer edges to Au adatoms and thereby influence the growth pathways that lead to ordered Kagome polymer lattices.

Referee Report

1 major / 0 minor

Summary. The manuscript examines the on-surface Ullmann coupling of tribromotrioxaazatriangulene precursors on Au(111) to form 2D π-conjugated polymers with Kagome lattices. Combining STM, high-resolution AFM, and DFT calculations, the authors report previously unobserved organometallic intermediate states featuring Au adatoms incorporated into the growing covalent polymer lattice, along with the observation that a majority of polymer edges remain brominated or coordinated to Au adatoms (with an adjacent Br) up to 250 °C, proposing that residual bromine stabilizes edges and influences ordering.

Significance. If the image assignments and structural interpretations are robust, the work supplies concrete mechanistic details on organometallic intermediates and edge chemistry during 2D polymer growth. This is relevant for controlling defect formation and achieving long-range order in Kagome-lattice materials, whose flat-band electronic properties are of interest. The multi-technique approach (STM/AFM + DFT) is a strength for an experimental observation paper.

  1. [Abstract and DFT modeling of intermediates] Abstract and results on organometallic intermediates: the central claim that bright protrusions and apparent heights correspond to Au adatoms incorporated within the covalent lattice (rather than surface adatoms, tip effects, or perimeter-only coordination) rests on joint STM/AFM + DFT assignment. No explicit comparison is described against chemically plausible alternative models (e.g., Br-terminated edges without lattice Au or purely perimeter Au coordination), which is required to establish that the proposed geometry uniquely reproduces the experimental contrast and heights.

  1. Referee: [Abstract and DFT modeling of intermediates] Abstract and results on organometallic intermediates: the central claim that bright protrusions and apparent heights correspond to Au adatoms incorporated within the covalent lattice (rather than surface adatoms, tip effects, or perimeter-only coordination) rests on joint STM/AFM + DFT assignment. No explicit comparison is described against chemically plausible alternative models (e.g., Br-terminated edges without lattice Au or purely perimeter Au coordination), which is required to establish that the proposed geometry uniquely reproduces the experimental contrast and heights.

    Authors: We agree that explicit side-by-side comparisons to alternative models would strengthen the structural assignment. Our DFT calculations (including simulated STM/AFM images) were performed on the lattice-incorporated Au-adatom geometry and reproduce the experimental bright protrusions and apparent heights inside the polymer units. Perimeter-only coordination or purely Br-terminated edges without lattice Au do not account for the internal contrast observed in both experiment and simulation. However, we did not include these alternative models as direct comparisons in the original submission. In the revised manuscript we will add DFT calculations and simulated images for (i) Br-terminated edges without lattice Au and (ii) perimeter-only Au coordination, allowing direct comparison of contrast and heights to the experimental data and to the proposed lattice-incorporated model. revision: yes

Circularity Check

No circularity: experimental imaging and DFT assignment paper

full rationale

The paper reports STM/AFM observations of polymer growth on Au(111) with DFT used for structure assignment. No equations, derivations, fitted parameters renamed as predictions, or self-citation chains appear in the provided text or abstract. Claims rest on direct experimental data and standard computational modeling without any reduction of outputs to inputs by construction. This matches the default case of a self-contained observational study.
