Tracking the Interaction between a CO-Functionalized Probe and Two Ag-Phthalocyanine Conformers by Local Vertical Force Spectroscopy
Intentionally terminating scanning probes with a single atom or molecule belongs to a rapidly growing field in the quantum chemistry and physics at surfaces. However, the detailed understanding of the coupling between the probe and adsorbate is in its infancy. Here, an atomic force microscopy probe functionalized with a single CO molecule is approached with… Read More

Extraction of Chemical Reactivity and Structural Relaxations of an Organic Dye from the Short-Range Interaction with a Molecular Probe
A CO-functionalized atomic force microscope tip is used to locally probe local chemical reactivity and subtle structural relaxations of a single phthalocyanine molecule at different stages of pyrrolic-H abstraction. Spatially resolved vertical force spectroscopy unveils a variation of the maximum short–range attraction between CO and intramolecular sites, which is interpreted as a measure for the… Read More
