The insertion of a metal atom in the central cavity of adsorbed porphyrins is an important subject as it allows specific control over the functionality of the molecule. In this work, metalation of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) molecules bonded directly to a Au(111) surface or to a self-assembled monolaye...
