Coloured atomic force micrograph (AFM) of an aryne molecule. This is the first image ever captured of this short-lived molecule and finally confirms the existence of a molecule that was first suggested in 1902. Arynes are highly reactive due to a non-linear triple bond and only exist as intermediates in reactions for a few milliseconds. The image was obtained by scientists at IBM Research,Zurich,Switzerland,and CiQUS at the University of Santiago de Compostela,Spain,using a carbon monoxide AFM tip | |
