Metalloporphyrin molecules on surfaces have been attracting the attention of the scientific community since their metal ion is fourfold coordinated within the molecular plane and displays two empty coordination sites that can be occupied by additional ligands or a surface. We have investigated submonolayers of Co octaethyl porphyrin molecules on Cu(001) and Cu(111) as well as on Au(001) and Au(111) surfaces by means of x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism in an external magnetic field of 6 T at a temperature of 5 K. We find the Co magnetic moment quenched when the molecule is adsorbed on Cu(111), Au(001), and Au(111). On Cu(001), on the contrary, the Co ions display a significant magnetic moment. We attribute this modification of the molecular magnetic properties to the formation of a hybrid electronic state at the metal-organic interface. — Financial support by project VEKMAG (BMBF 05K13KEA) is gratefully acknowleged.
