    Abstract:
    We present a mechanochemistry-based procedure to isolate individual chains on surfaces of a ruthenium MMX polymer. After sonication of solutions containing the two building blocks of the mentioned MMX polymer, time-depending structures are formed in the solution. The architecture of the different structures obtained in this process, as a function of the time, is monitored using atomic force microscopy. The resulting structures exhibit uniform subnanometer diameters over microns length, in agreement with the expected diameter for an individual polymer chain. From the atomic force microscope images, we infer a long persistence length for the linear structures. Finally, the effect of the temperature solution in the formation of the different structures is also addressed.
