Dibromo-bianthracene (DBBA) has been shown to present an effective bottom-up strategy to fabricate atomically precise graphene nanoribbons on metal substrates. Here, we follow the thermally induced chemical reaction of DBBA deposited on Cu(110) to bisanthene (C28H14) by photoemission tomography. By comparison with density functional calculations, we can clearly identify a number of molecular orbitals associated with bisanthene including the filled LUMO. We unambiguously prove the chemical reaction taking place, clarify the molecular conformation and orientation before and after the reaction, and provide information on the charge state as well as on the electronic level alignment of the reaction product. Our work thus demonstrates the potential of photoemission tomography in monitoring complex reactions on surfaces.
