Porphyrin molecules at interfaces — •Willi Auwärter — Physik Department E20, Technische Universität München, Germany

Porphyrins and related tetrapyrrole molecules possess an impressive variety of functional properties - including axial ligation, electron transfer, light harvesting and catalytic transformations - that have been exploited in natural and artificial systems. From a surface science perspective, porphyrins are thus ideally suited as building blocks for surface-anchored functional nanostructures [1-3]. We will review recent scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy results, complemented by space-averaging techniques and computational modeling based on density functional theory, addressing such porphyrin systems with sub-molecular resolution. Key aspects include molecular switching, conformation, axial ligation, metalation and self-assembly protocols. Particular emphasis is put on on-surface dehydrogenation reactions yielding novel porphyrin species on Ag(111), including covalently linked dimers and longer oligomers. Furthermore, the formation of metal-organic coordination networks and porphyrin arrays on atomically thin boron nitride (BN) layers grown on Cu(111) is discussed [4]. The BN template dictates the electronic level alignment of the porphyrin nanostructures and supports distinct coordination motifs.
