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

With the adsorption of larger molecules being increasingly tackled by surface scientists, the
aspect of chirality often plays a role. This paper gives a topical review of molecular chirality …

Self‐assembly, the process by which objects initially distributed at random arrange into well‐
defined patterns exclusively due to their local mutual interactions without external …

Surface coordination chemistry has been traditionally associated with analogies between
metal–ligand bonding in coordination compounds and chemisorptive interactions, the …

We investigated the coordination self-assembly and metalation reaction of Cu with 5, 10, 15,
20-tetra (4-pyridyl) porphyrin (2HTPyP) on a Au (111) surface by means of scanning …

The bonding and the temperature-driven metalation of 2H-tetraphenylporphyrin (2H-TPP) on
the Cu (111) surface under ultrahigh vacuum conditions were investigated by a combination …

Conspectus The investigation of porphyrin derivatives at the solid–vacuum interface has
become a vivid research field with the prospect to tailor functional molecular architectures …

Creating or connecting together large organic molecules, as polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH), by chemical reactions readily on surfaces is the first step to a true …

The formation of chiral nanostructures via molecular assembly and reaction on solid
surfaces is a ubiquitous surface process due to the symmetry-breaking at 2D surface …

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