Model compound: Individual adsorbed Cu-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl) porphyrins are observed by STM on a Si(111)-B surface with an atomic resolution at room temperature (see figure). The conformational modifications after the adsorption on the surface is successfully interpreted with DFT calculations performed on the entire system (molecule and substrate).
