Assembly and Manipulation of Rotatable Cerium Porphyrinato Sandwich Complexes on a Surface

Abstract

Stacked up: Use of scanning tunneling microscopy allows manipulation of the upper porphyrin of tris(porphyrinato) cerium triple-decker complexes, which are obtained by a new synthetic route on a smooth Ag(111) surface (see picture).
