Single iron phtalocyanine (FePc) molecules on graphene on Ir(111) are studied by low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The molecules are either unperturbed and weakly coupled to the substrate or bound to graphene by a lobe in a specific region of the moiré unit cell. Concomittant density functional calculations reveal that the binding between the FePc lobe and graphene is the result of a new kind of cyclization reaction. This reaction is activated in certain regions of the moiré unit cell by the presence of the iridium substrate.
