Noble Metal Substrate Identity Effects on the Self-Assembly, Dynamics, and Dehydrocyclization Reaction of Octaethylporphyrin Molecules
Our paper entitled “Noble Metal Substrate Identity Effects on the Self-Assembly, Dynamics, and Dehydrocyclization Reaction of Octaethylporphyrin Molecules” has been published by The Journal of Physical Chemistry C as part of a virtual special issue “125 Years of The Journal of Physical Chemistry”. We are grateful to have this chance to be a part of the celebration for this incredible journal. In this paper, we used STM to probe and manipulate molecules on the surface, revealing single-molecule behavior and therefore a fundamental view of molecule–substrate interactions and a surface-catalyzed reaction.
