Two-dimensional metal-organic porous networks (2DMOPNs) on noble metal surfaces are highly ordered quantum boxes for confining surface state electrons. For a long time, this approach has mainly been used for the confinement of surface electrons in Shockley-type surface states and has only recently been explored for excited electrons at surfaces1 , i.e., image potential state (IPS) electrons. In this contribution, we focus on the hot electron dynamics of quantum confinement IPS electrons in a 2D porous network. As a model system, we study the Cu-coordinated T4PT network on the Cu(111) surface for which the quantum confinement leads to a substantial increase in the effective band mass of the IPS electrons1. We use time-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy to quantify the fs timescale hot electron dynamics and quasi-particle lifetimes of the confined electrons in the flat IPS bands. Our findings provide insight into the role of the quantum confinement for the hot electron dynamics in the 2DMOPNs.
