This review covers the surface chemistry of porphyrins, phthalocyanines, their metal
complexes, and related compounds, with particular focus on chemical reactions at …

The metallation of tetrapyrroles at well-defined surfaces under ultra-high vacuum conditions
represents an unconventional synthesis approach to achieve tetrapyrrole-based metal …

Two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules (heterocyclic
nanographenes) are a highly versatile class of organic materials, applicable as functional …

The templated synthesis of porphyrin dimers, oligomers, and tapes has recently attracted
considerable interest. Here, we introduce a clean, temperature-induced covalent …

The interface of ionic liquids (ILs) with solid surfaces is of pivotal interest for many
applications, ranging from sensors, lubrication, separation technology, and electronics to …

The molecule–substrate interaction plays a key role in charge injection organic-based
devices. Charge transfer at molecule–metal interfaces strongly affects the overall physical …

Selectivity in chemical reactions is a major objective in industrial processes to minimize
spurious byproducts and to save scarce resources. In homogeneous catalysis the most …

Temperature-dependent chemical and structural changes of a submonolayer of 2H-
tetraphenylporphyrin (2HTPP) on Cu (111) were studied with photoelectron spectroscopy …

Catechols are ubiquitous substances often acting as antioxidants, thus of importance in a
variety of biological processes. The Fenton and Haber–Weiss processes are thought to …

The breakdown of macrocyclic compounds is of utmost importance in manifold biological
and chemical processes, usually proceeding via oxygenation-induced ring-opening …
