Fabricating nanostructures via on surface synthesis with molecules is interesting for the research in exotic properties of small nanostructures and the development of molecular electronics. In surface synthesis molecular building blocks are connected together by the use of a scanning probe tip or by self-assembly chemical reactions with selective precursors. The STM tip can make and break chemical bonds by applying selective pulse at the right moment and right place.
