Chemical doping of graphene is an efficient way of tuning its intrinsic properties. In particular, implantation of a single-atom dopant [1,2] modifies graphene local electronic structure and consequently its chemical activity [3]. Understanding the interaction of molecules with individual dopants in graphene is of immense importance for development of graphene-based devices. We study the interaction of iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) with both pristine and N-doped graphene by means of cryogenic STM+AFM. While on pristine graphene the FePc forms regularly ordered self-assemblies, the presence of nitrogen dopants anchors FePc non-covalently, preventing their long-range ordering (see Fig.1). By STS and manipulation with the molecules we investigate how the proximity of the N-dopant affects the electronic states of a FePC molecule. The AFM high-resolution imaging with a CO-tip reveals a substantial charge redistribution within the molecule.
