Abstract

The formation of one-dimensional coordination polymers of cyano-substituted porphyrin derivatives on Au(111) induced by thermal annealing is demonstrated by means of scanning tunnelling microscopy. The polymer is stabilised by an unusual threefold coordination motif mediated between an Au atom and the cyano groups of the porphyrin derivatives.
