Recently, significant attention has been drawn to on-surface reactions [1], including on-surface redox chemistry [2], of which the metalation of free-base porphyrins is an interesting example [3, 4]. The on-surface metalation can be realized in three ways: (i) by picking up free heteroatoms from a surface [5]; (ii) by depositing metal atoms on top of molecules predeposited on an intert substrate (e.g. Au or Ag); or (iii) self-metalation, i.e. by coordination with atoms of a crystalline substrate. The temperature of on-surface metalation depends on the method chosen and on the element used [5]. We show [5] that, surprisingly, passivating a Cu(001) surface with an oxygen- surface reconstruction lowers the self-metalation temperature of 5,10,15,20-Tetraphenylporphin (2HTPP) from 450 K on native Cu(001) surface to 285 K on the oxygen-reconstructed Cu(001) surface. In the presented study X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) methods have been used.
