(a) STM images of dehydrogenation drove two different reaction pathways (reaction between porphines showed on the top, porphine and edge of graphene on the bottom). (b) Model of the process of dehydrogenation. (c–d) AFM images represent different C-C coupling ways of dehydrogenation with the corresponding models shown below.
