We investigated the adsorption of three related cyano-functionalized tetraphenyl porphyrin derivatives on Cu(111) by scanning tunneling microscopy in ultra-high vacuum with the goal to identify the role of the cyano group and the central Cu atom. The porphyrin derivatives studied were Cu-TCNPP, Cu-cisDCNPP, and 2H-cisDCNPP. Starting from different structures obtained after deposition at room temperature, all three molecules form the same long-range ordered hexagonal honeycomb-type structure with triangular pores, and three molecules per unit cell. For the metal-free 2H-cisDCNPP, this goes along with self-metalation. The structure-forming elements are pores with a distance of 3.1 nm, formed by triangles of porphyrins fused together by CN-Cu-NC interactions, with Cu adatoms. This finding leads us to suggest that the twofold cyano-functionalized at ''cis'' conformation is the minimum prerequisite to form a highly ordered 2D porous pattern.
