By a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy imaging and density functional theory calculations, dehalogenation processes of symmetric polyhalogenated benzenes were explored on Ag(111), and a series of intermediate states were captured and visualized in real space. These results reveal a sequential dehalogenation scenario of symmetric polybrominated aromatics, which will broaden the understanding of on-surface dehalogenation reactions.
