The rapid development of functional graphene-like nanoribbons withhigh-quality has become increasingly reliant on multiple nanofabricationplatforms while traditional methods are facing mounting limitations in thisregard. Consequently, the demand for novel techniques to explore and manipulategraphene-like nanoribbons has surged. Herein, we report an on-surface synthesisof graphene-like nanoribbons on pentacene/picene monomers via a series ofself-assembly and annealing on the one-dimensional(1D) Au(110) substrate. Ourscanning tunneling microscope(STM) research reveals that four-/eight- memberedrings are formed between adjacent molecules. Furthermore, we demonstrate thetechnique to manipulate the pentacene dimer without breaking its structure byoperating an STM tip. Our results exhibit a possible platform for developingnext generation graphene-based quantum computing designs and a technique toobtain multiple functional graphene-like nanoribbons with high-precision.
