We report on the stepwise formation of N-doped nanohelicene, nanographene, nanodome and graphene from the same heteroaromatic precursor through subsequent dehydrogenations on Pt(111) upon thermal annealing. The combined experimental (UHV-STM) and computational (DFT) studies attain a full atomistic description of the intermediate reaction stages.
