Metalloporphyrins’ stability and tunability make them well-suited candidates for use in molecular spintronics. In this context, the understanding of the on-surface properties and reactions of such systems is of great relevance. In this work we investigate the intramolecular reaction mediated by thermal stimulation undergone by iron octaethylporphyrin adsorbed onto a Au(111) single crystal substrate. Through a ring-closure process, the molecule turns into iron tetrabenzoporphyrin when subjected to an annealing temperature of 550 K [1]. Near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, and density-functional-theory-calculated density of states (DOS) results are presented to display the modifications resulting from this process. We find the magnetic anisotropy of the molecule after ring closure is reduced by a factor of six, while the iron magnetic moment is substantially increased. — Financial support by project VEKMAG (BMBF 05K13KEA) and CAPES is gratefully acknowledged.
