One-dimensional (1D) metal–organic (MO) nanowires are captivating from fundamental and technologi cal perspectives due to their distinctive magnetic and electronic properties. The solvent-free synthesis of such nanomaterials on catalytic surfaces provides a unique approach for fabricating low-dimensional single-layer materials with atomic precision and low amount of defects. A detailed understanding of the electronic structure of MO polymers such as band gap and dispersive bands is critical for their prospective implementation into nanodevices such as spin sensors or field-effect transistors. Here, we have per formed the on-surface reaction of quinoidal ligands with single cobalt atoms (Co-QDI) on a vicinal Au (788) surface in ultra-high vacuum. This procedure promotes the growth and uniaxial alignment of Co-QDI MO chains along the surface atomic steps, while permitting the mapping of their electronic properties with space-averaging angle-resolved hotoemission spectroscopy.
