Manipulation of the electronic structure by reversible dehydrogenation of tetra(p-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin molecules
چکیده انگلیسی
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 ordered array is demonstrated. This is achieved through voltage pulses by hydrogen transfer between the center of the porphyrin and the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The local dehydrogenation leads to significant shifts in the energetic positions of the molecular orbitals. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations corroborate our conclusions and allow to gain more insight into the different energy level alignments before and after dehydrogenation. Due to the different conductance at a given voltage a clear distinction of both molecular species is possible, which also enables the application as a single-molecular switch.
