Paramagnetic Fe-porphyrin molecules are promising candidates for applications in molecular nano-electronics. A fundamental understanding of the interaction of these molecules with ferromagnetic substrates is essential to realize future functional devices. Here we present systematic x-ray absorption and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) studies on octaethylporphyrin-Fe(III) chloride molecules sublimated onto epitaxially grown Ni and Co films on Cu(100). The fine structures observed in the absorption and dichroic spectra of the Fe-L2,3 edges are explained in terms of different Fe 3d orbitals probed in angular-dependent measurements. The coverage of Fe-porphyrin molecules is varied from submonolayer to 1.5 monolayer, and measurements were carried out at room as well as at low temperatures. From the temperature dependence of the Fe-XMCD signal, a weaker coupling strength between the Fe atom and the Ni substrate is found as compared to the Co case.
