The in vacuo metalation of tetrapyrrole molecules is a convenient way to build tetrapyrrole-based metal-organic structures on metal surfaces. A commonly employed route is the deposition of molecules by organic molecular beam epitaxy, which subsequently are exposed to a beam of metal atoms. Given the importance of terbium phthalocyanine double decker compounds as single molecule magnets, it is surprising that so far on-surface metalation predominantly focused on the creation of transition metal complexes, with only few scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies dedicated to the rare earth Ce [1, 2]. Here, we follow the metalation of free-base tetraphenylporphyrin and free-base phthalocyanine molecules on Ag(111) with different rare earth metals using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. We show that metalation can be readily achieved at room temperature, and discuss the effects of an excess of metal atoms on the spectroscopic signatures.
