Abstract :
Nanostructures were built at the solid/liquid interface by self-assembly and/or coordination bonds. Metalloporphyrins bearing two external coordination sites and long alkyl chains allowed the self-assembly of the compounds on highly oriented pyrolitic graphite. After addition of a metal ion, long transition-metal linked porphyrin-nanoribbons were obtained and visualized by scanning tunneling microscopy. In these porphyrin ribbons electronic delocalization is possible through the d orbitals of the connecting metal ions.
