Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of precise size and shape, critical for controlling electronic properties and future device applications, can be realized via precision synthesis on surfaces using rationally designed molecular precursors. Fluorine-bearing precursors have the potential to form GNRs on nonmetallic substrates suitable for device fabrication. Here, we investigate the deposition temperature-mediated growth of a new fluorine-bearing precursor, 6,11-diiodo-1,4-bis(2-fluorophenyl)-2,3-diphenyltriphenylene (C
