Nowakowski J Wäckerlin C Girovsky J Siewert D Jung TA Ballav N 2013 The presence of an oxygen reconstruction on the Cu(001) surface results in the self-metalation of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (2HTPP) below room temperature (at ~285 K), in contrast to 2HTPP on the bare Cu(001) substrate, where a temperature of ~450 K is required. This study demonstrates the decisive impact of a surface reconstruction on the redox reaction in the solvent-free ultra-high vacuum environment. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/750 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1039/c3cc39134e info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/23407774 Chemical communications (Cambridge, England). - 2013 Materials Chemistry Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials General Chemistry Surfaces, Coatings and Films Metals and Alloys Ceramics and Composites Catalysis Porphyrin metalation providing an example of a redox reaction facilitated by a surface reconstruction. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
