Abstract
AbstractReplacement of sp2‐hybridized carbon in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by boron affords electron‐deficient π‐scaffolds due to the vacant pz‐orbital of three‐coordinate boron with the potential for pronounced electronic interactions with electron‐rich metal surfaces. Using a diboraperylene diborinic acid derivative as precursor and a controlled on‐surface non‐covalent synthesis approach, we report on a self‐assembled chiral supramolecular kagome network on an Ag(111) surface stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions at low temperature. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) reveal a flat band at ca. 0.33 eV above the Fermi level which is localized at the molecule center, in good agreement with tight‐binding model calculations of flat bands characteristic for kagome lattices.
