of Ni-containing tetrapyrroles on Cu(100)
allows control of the Ni atom oxidation state, yielding inactive Ni(II)
or active Ni(I) upon modification of the molecule–substrate
interaction, resembling the behavior of the biochemical counterpart.
Ni(I) is indeed the active site of methanogenic bacteria in the tetrahydrocorphin
of the F430 coenzyme of methyl-coenzyme reductase. Tuning
of the electronic configuration of the Ni atom in the 2D system is
accomplished by exploiting the surface trans effect, by analogy to
the biologic enzymatic pocket, which is activated by a molecular trans
effect. In this report, we identify the vibrational fingerprint of
the molecular macrocycle that reflects the actual Ni oxidation state
in the 2D system showing that, despite the apparent differences of
the two cases, the fact that the Ni-porphin in the F430 pocket is accessible to the reactants but not to the solvent makes
the two situations more similar than expected.
