Bonding and organization of functional molecules at interfaces is strongly affected by the interaction with the support. By switching from metal surfaces to sp2-bonded monolayer templates an electrical decoupling of the molecules from their support is possible that recently attracted significant interest [1,2]. This decoupling provides new possibilities to order and structure components at the nanometer scale. Here we focus on the interactions and the electronic modification of free-base porphine (2H-P), a prototype tetrapyrrole compound, on graphene/Ag(111). In STS measurements pronounced peaks corresponding to LUMO and HOMO orbitals appear. Furthermore, the repulsions between 2H-P previously identified on Ag(111) are diminished [3]. Our findings are put into perspective with results for electronically decoupled 2H-P on BN/Cu(111) and 2H-P on bare Ag(111). All measurements were conducted with a low temperature STM.
