The bottom-up synthesis of two-dimensional polymers and its decisive reaction parameters are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and complementary methods under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Therefore, aromatic molecules with halogen functional groups are deposited onto metal and graphite surfaces and activated by catalytically and thermally induced homolysis. The resulting polymer topology and the electric properties are determined by specific molecular building blocks and coadsorbed halogen adlayers.
