▎ 摘　　要

Unlike graphene sheets, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) can exhibit semiconducting band gap characteristics that can be tuned by controlling impurity doping and the GNR widths and edge structures. However, achieving such control is a major challenge in the fabrication of GNRs. Chevron-type GNRs were recently synthesized via surface-assisted polymerization of pristine or N-substituted oligophenylene monomers. In principle, GNR heterojunctions can be fabricated by mixing two different monomers. In this paper, we report the fabrication and characterization of chevron-type GNRs using sulfur-substituted oligophenylene monomers to produce GNRs and related heterostructures for the first time. First-principles calculations show that the GNR gaps can be tailored by applying different sulfur configurations from cyclodehydrogenated isomers via debromination and intramolecular cyclodehydrogenation. This feature should enable a new approach for the creation of multiple GNR heterojunctions by engineering their sulfur configurations. These predictions have been confirmed via scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. For example, we have found that the S-containing GNRs contain segments with distinct band gaps, i.e., a sequence of multiple heterojunctions that results in a sequence of quantum dots. This unusual intraribbon heterojunction sequence may be useful in nanoscale optoelectronic applications that use quantum dots.
