Precision graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have garnered significant interest because of their unique and tailorable electronic properties. In this issue of Chem, Fischer and co-workers present a hybrid approach that combines chain-growth Suzuki catalyst-transfer polymerization with a surface-assisted cyclodehydrogenation reaction, enabling precise control over GNR length and end groups.
