Abstract
Copper(II) meso-tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (Cu-TCPP) is studied on a 5-(octadecyloxy) isophthalic acid covered highly ordered pyrolytic graphite surface with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) at the solid−liquid interface. STM images of individual, chains, and two-dimensional domains of Cu-TCPP molecules were measured. The stability of individual Cu-TCPP molecules and Cu-TCPP chains indicates that the interaction between the Cu-TCPP molecules and the underlying 5-OIA layer is strong enough to immobilize Cu-TCPP molecules.
