Adsorption geometry and self assembly of corrole molecules on different copper facets — •Leonid Lichtenstein, Stefan Kuck, Germar Hoffmann, and Roland Wiesendanger — Institute of Applied Physics, University of Hamburg

A new member of the metalloporphyrinoid class is the one-carbon short corrole which is a very accessible, easily tunable compound with many potential applications in material science and catalysis. These molecules differ from the parent porphyrin molecules [1] mainly by their lower inherent symmetry and the smaller cavity. In this study using STM we address the conformation (orientation and chirality) and self assembly of iron-triphenylcorrole (FeTPC) molecules on Cu(100) and Cu(111). At low coverage FeTPC molecules show restricted symmetry and can be controllably switched among different conformations [2]. At higher coverage formation of regular aggregates can be observed. We will present the results of the growth study in dependence of surface geometry and coverage and discuss results of scanning tunneling spectroscopy investigations of these systems.
