In this work, we present the on-surface synthesis of one-dimensional polymers based on cumulene-bridged peripentacene units on a bare Au(111) surface under ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) conditions. The structural characterization of the polymers has been realized via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and confirmed by non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM). The electronic characterization of polymers has been performed via scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) which, complemented by theoretical calculations, reveals that the polymers present an experimental band gap of 0.8 eV and pure diradical character, exhibiting one unpaired spin at each end. We observe a transition from an antiferromagnetic ground state for peripentacene dimers to a paramagnetic ground state for trimers or longer polymers.
