Temperature-Dependent Chemical and Structural Transformations from 2H-Tetraphenylporphyrin to Copper(II)-Tetraphenylporphyrin on Cu(111) — •Stefanie Ditze, Michael Stark, Jie Xiao, Michael Röckert, Martin Drost, Florian Buchner, Ole Lytken, Hans-Peter Steinrück, and Hubertus Marbach — Lehrstuhl für Physikalische Chemie II and Interdisciplinary Center for Molecular Materials (ICMM), Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Egerlandstr. 3, D-91058 Erlangen
Temperature-driven chemical and structural changes of 2H-Tetraphenylporphyrin (2HTPP) adsorbed on Cu(111) have been investigated by a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) under UHV conditions. The first chemical change is a redox reaction of the porphyrin center with Cu atoms from the substrate, resulting in the formation of Copper(II)-Tetraphenylporphyrin (CuTPP). For a coverage of about 0.17 molecules/nm2, this reaction was found to start around 400 K and can easily be monitored by STM, due the very different adsorption behavior of 2HTPP and CuTPP on Cu(111). The energetic parameters of this self-metalation reaction were determined by isothermal STM experiments.[1] Subsequent annealing to 450 and 500 K leads to two intramolecular structural changes, which are attributed to successive dehydrogenation reactions of CuTPP.[2]
