Recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies showed that the switching behavior of hydrogen protons between different molecular sites, a so-called tautomerization, can be influenced by a molecule–substrate symmetry mismatch [1] or by the proximity of a single atom [2]. Here, we will show how the controlled switching behavior of a single H2Pc molecule and its dehydrogenated form can be modified by nanostructures assembled in an atom-by-atom process. Towards this goal we developed an experimental procedure that allows for the highly controllable release of single atoms from silver STM tips onto a Ag(111) surface. Manipulating these adatoms facilitates the creation of various molecular environments that reduce or amplify the tautomerization processes.
