Porphyrinoid molecules can incorporate a wide array of the elements of the periodic table in a chemical pocket. By engineering their coordination pocket one can tune the functional properties for catalysis, spintronics, electronics and sensors. Here we use a common natural pigment, indigo, with Fe atoms on Au(111). By a series of thermally activated reaction steps including selective C-H activation, we obtain a novel metallated porphyrinoid species with high yield. By McMurry-type coupling on the same surface, this porphyrinoid species fuses into dimers. The reaction products are identified by a combination of scanning tunnelling microscopy, bond resolving atomic force microscopy and density functional theory investigations. Our studies expand the available chemistry for on-surface synthesis of macrocyclic tetrapyrroles [1] and contribute to versatile metal-organic nanostructures with smaller coordination pockets, which are challenging to obtain via solution chemistry.
