Abstract Atomically precise engineering of defined segments within individual graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) represents a key enabling technology for the development of advanced functional device architectures. Here, the bottom‐up synthesis of chevron GNRs decorated with reactive functional groups derived from 9‐methyl‐9H‐carbazole is reported. Scanning tunneling and non‐contact atomic force microscopy reveal that a thermal activation of GNRs induces the rearrangement of the electron‐rich carbazole into an electron‐deficient phenanthridine. The selective chemical edge‐reconstruction of carbazole‐substituted chevron GNRs represents a practical strategy for the controlled fabrication of spatially defined GNR heterostructures from a single molecular precursor.
