Regulating the stability of 2D crystal structures using an oxidation state-dependent molecular conformation.
The oxidation state of the phenol-substituted porphyrin TDtBHPP is coupled with its structure so that its 2-electron oxidation leads to a coplanarization of the molecule and a substantial stabilization of its surface self-assembled structures adsorbed at metal substrates.
