Surface-Induced Dechlorination of FeOEPCl on Cu(111)

To be or not to be chlorinated: When octaethylporphyrin iron(III) chloride (FeOEPCl) molecules are sublimated onto Cu(111) surfaces, two different molecular species are observed through scanning tunneling microscopy, showing either a protrusion or a depression at the center.

Description
Summary:To be or not to be chlorinated: When octaethylporphyrin iron(III) chloride (FeOEPCl) molecules are sublimated onto Cu(111) surfaces, two different molecular species are observed through scanning tunneling microscopy, showing either a protrusion or a depression at the center. In combination with van der Waals‐corrected density functional calculations, our experiments reveal that one species corresponds to FeOEPCl molecules with the chlorine atom pointing away from the surface, whereas the other species has been dechlorinated.
