"Covalent Connection of Two Individual Polymer Chains on a Surface: An elementary step towards molecular nanoconstructions"
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2003, 42, 1932-1935, DOI: 10.1002/anie.200250059
Keywords Dendrimers, polymers, scanning probe microscopy  
     
Abstract "Move-connect-prove" is the sequence that is employed to join and shape two individual strands of dendronized polymers. A scanning force microscope is used to move and shape the strands (see a to b in the figure above); the connection is obtained by UV irradiation of the sample and tested by pulling on the connected polymer chains
