The bonding flexibility of metalloporphyrin molecules makes them versatile candidates for spintronic applications. The magnetic properties of these molecules can be readily influenced by changes to their ligands. We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of cobalt octaethylporphyrin (CoOEP), deposited on two similar surfaces, Cu(100) and Cu(111), with x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. A significant magnetic moment is observed from the cobalt ions of the molecules deposited on Cu(100), but it is completely quenched on Cu(111). Subjecting the molecules to an annealing process causes an intramolecular reaction, resulting in cobalt tetrabenzoporphyrin. The new molecules on both substrates have a quenched magnetic moment and similar electronic properties as the CoOEP molecules deposited on Cu(111). We propose that the CoOEP molecules on Cu(100) display an unusual mixed-valence configuration caused by the hybridization of the cobalt ion with the copper substrate, leading to the quench of the cobalt ions' magnetic spin moment.
