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

First-principles simulation has played an ever-increasing role in the discovery and
interpretation of the chemical properties of surface–adsorbate interactions. Nevertheless …

In the scanning tunnelling microscope, the many-body Kondo effect leads to a zero-bias
feature of the differential conductance spectra of magnetic adsorbates on surfaces. The …

Spin-flip excitations of iron porphyrin molecules on Au (111) are investigated with a low-
temperature scanning tunneling microscope. The molecules adopt two distinct adsorption …

In the pursuit of manipulating the properties of single atoms, the surface-supported metal–
organic frameworks (MOFs) provide us opportunities to individually address the electronic …

Spin properties of organic molecules have attracted great interest for their potential
applications in spintronic devices and quantum computing. Fe-tetraphenyl porphyrin …

Oxygen binding and cleavage are important for both molecular recognition and catalysis. Mn-
based porphyrins in particular are used as catalysts for the epoxidation of alkenes, and in …

On-surface molecular functionalization paved the way for the stabilization of chelated ions in
different oxidation and spin states, allowing for the fine control of catalytic and magnetic …

Ever since the first example of a double‐decker complex (SnPc2) was discovered in 1936,
MPc2 complexes with π systems and chemical and physical stabilities have been used as …

Spin-crossover (SCO) molecules are thought to be ideal systems for molecular spintronics
when SCO can be precisely controlled at the single-molecule level. This is demonstrated …
