Acetylthio-protected free base porphyrins are used to form scanning tunneling microscope-
molecular break junctions. The porphyrin molecules are deprotected in situ, before the self …

Given its central role in utilizing light energy, photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from an
excited molecule has been widely studied,,,,–. However, even though microscopic …

We investigate the near-field interaction between an isolated free-base phthalocyanine
molecule and a plasmon localized in the gap between an NaCl-covered Ag (111) surface …

Saddle-shaped deformation of planar porphyrin molecules is accomplished by rotations of
four phenyl-based substituents, which results from optimum adsorption onto Au (111) …

▪ Abstract Organic molecules adsorbed on solid surfaces display a fascinating variety of new
physical and chemical phenomena ranging from self-assembly and molecular recognition to …

Dynamic self‐assembly and metal–ligand coordination processes of porphyrin hexamers on
a solid–liquid interface have been visualized with scanning tunneling microscopy. The …

We investigate photochromic molecular switches that are self-assembled on gold. We use
two experimental techniques; namely, the mechanically controllable break-junction …

The controlled and reversible interconversion between the free-base and the doubly
dehydrogenated form of a 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra (p-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin molecule in an …

The prospect of manipulating matter on the atomic scale has fascinated scientists for
decades. This fascination may be motivated by scientific and technological opportunities, or …

We report on the first successful lateral manipulation of molecules and controlled formation
of nanostructures with the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) at temperatures above 4 K …
