abstract = {The determination of reaction pathways and the
identification of reaction intermediates are key issues in
chemistry. Surface reactions are particularly challenging,
since many methods of analytical chemistry are inapplicable
at surfaces. Recently, atomic force microscopy has been
employed to identify surface reaction intermediates. While
providing an excellent insight into the molecular backbone
structure, atomic force microscopy is less conclusive about
the molecular periphery, where adsorbates tend to react with
the substrate. Here we show that photoemission tomography is
extremely sensitive to the character of the frontier
orbitals. Specifically, hydrogen abstraction at the
molecular periphery is easily detected, and the precise
nature of the reaction intermediates can be determined. This
is illustrated with the thermally induced reaction of
dibromo-bianthracene to graphene which is shown to proceed
via a fully hydrogenated bisanthene intermediate. We
anticipate that photoemission tomography will become a
powerful companion to other techniques in the study of
surface reaction pathways.},
