The bromination of the molecule tetraphenyl-porphyrin leads to a very strong saddle-shape deformation of the macro-cycle and a change of the electronic states. We combine scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and density functional theory (DFT) to thoroughly investigate the molecular arrangement and electronic structure of copper-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (CuTPPBr8) on the Au(111) surface. After slight annealing of the sample a well ordered adsorbate structure is observed. Thereby, the molecules are found to be rotated by 90∘ with respect to their neighbours in a checkerboard-like manner. Upon heating above 300∘C the molecular arrangement transforms into a stripe-like structure with two different kinds of molecular appearances, which is due to the debromination of the molecules as could be confirmed by PES. Furthermore, we present a comparison of our results obtained from STS, PES and DFT for the electronic structure of CuTPPBr8 adsorbed on Au(111) and discuss the interaction of the molecules with the substrate.
