Bottom-up approach to constructing low-dimensional nanostructures on surfaces with terminal alkynes has drawn great interest because of its potential applications in fabricating advanced functional nanomaterials. The diversity of the achieved products manifests rich chemistry of terminal alkynes and hence careful linking strategies and proper controlling methodologies are required for selective preparations of high-quality target nanoarchitectures. This review summarizes various on-surface linking strategies for terminal alkynes, including non-bonding interactions as well as organometallic and covalent bonds, and presents examples to show effective control of surface assemblies and reactions of terminal alkynes by variations of the precursor structures, substrates and activation modes. Systematic studies of the on-surface linkage of terminal alkynes may help efficient and predictable preparations of surface nanomaterials and further understanding of surface chemistry.
