Metallo-porphyrins are well-known as electron donors in photoinduced electron transfer processes and for their semiconducting properties. They are used as, e.g., dyes, sensitizers, catalysts and in various organo-electronic devices. For improved device design and performance, more detailed knowledge about film morphology and related electronic structure is necessary. In the present study, the electronic structure of thick films of (H2, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Sn)-tetraphenyl-porphyrins on Au-plated Si-wafers was investigated using NEXAFS spectroscopy. The obtained N 1s spectra reflect modifications in the electronic structure of the central metal ion interacting with the nitrogen donor functions of the porphyrin ring. Furthermore, the orientation of ultrathin and thick films of ZnTPP and SnTTBPP(OH)2 (TTBPP=tetra(p-tert.butylphenyl)porphyrin) on an Ag(100) single crystal was studied by angle-dependent NEXAFS spectroscopy. In thin films, the porphyrin frame is lying almost flat on the surface, while the phenyl ligands are twisted by about 60 degrees with respect to the surface plane. Corroborating high-level TD-DFT calculations were used to allow more detailed interpretation of the experimental data (this project is funded by the DFG within SFB 583, TP C9).
