DESCRIPTION:Dimas G. de Oteyza\, Donostia International Physics Center\, S
 an Sebastian\, Spain\nSynthetic organic materials have gained an irrevocab
 le presence in our daily lives. The variety of their applications is conti
 nuously growing\, including highly refined functionalities as for example 
 in optoelectronic devices\, catalysts\, filters or batteries. In the frame
  of their synthesis\, on-surface chemistry is rapidly attracting increasin
 g attention. On the one hand it is expected to allow the synthesis of mate
 rials not achievable by other means\, while on the other hand it overcomes
  potential problems in the transfer of complex molecular compounds synthes
 ized by conventional wet-chemistry onto solid device structures. Besides\,
  running the reactions under ultra-high vacuum and on well-defined surface
 s allows the use of a variety of sophisticated surface-science techniques 
 for their characterization. [1] We have followed an on-surface chemistry a
 pproach for the synthesis and characterization of a variety of functional 
 organic materials\, including conjugated conductive polymers\, [2] atomica
 lly precise graphene nanoribbons of varying width\, [3] and their associat
 ed heterojunctions. [4]\n1 D. G. de Oteyza\, et al.\, Science 2013\, 340\,
