On the Adsorption Behavior of Cyano-Functionalized Porphyrins on Cu(111) and Ag(111): from Dimers over Molecular Wires to Ordered Supramolecular Two-Dimensional Aggregates — Michael Lepper1, Gretel Siglreithmaier1, Martin Gurrath2, Bernd Meyer2, Hans-Peter Steinrück1, and •Hubertus Marbach1 — 1Lehrstuhl für Physikalische Chemie II — 2Computer-Chemistry-Center; both Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
We investigate the impact of peripheral cyano functionalization of the well-studied 2H-tetraphenylporphyrin (2HTPP) by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). Interestingly, depending on the number and the geometry of cyano-functionalized phenyl rings, the free-base porphyrins form dimers or 1D-cains after mild annealing on Cu(111). The linking within the dimers and chains is realized by Cu adatoms as evidenced by comparison of STM and DFT [1]. In contrast, the corresponding Cu-porphyrin analogues form peculiar porous highly ordered 2D-islands on Cu(111). On Ag(111), the cyano-functionalized free-base porphyrin molecules assemble into a long-range 2D square order similar to their analogues without cyano functionalization [1]. We will discuss the presented results in regard of the specific roles of molecule-molecule and molecule-substrate interactions, with a particular emphasis on the specific intramolecular conformations [2] and the potential to tailor-make functional molecular architectures.
