In this paper, we reveal that the free-base and zinc strapped porphyrins possessing long alkyl chains, C 24OPP-HQ and Zn(C 24OPP-HQ), respectively, can be arranged on surfaces. We used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to observe alkyl-chain-assisted self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of these strapped porphyrins at the solid-liquid interface. STM images revealed that the strapped benzene moiety was detectable on the porphyrin core: that is, the strapped porphyrins could be differentiated from nonstrapped analogues. We compared the population of the nonstrapped porphyrin (C 24OPP) and either of the strapped porphyrins C 24OPP-HQ or Zn(C 24OPP-HQ) in the mixed SAMs. We then confirmed that Zn(C 24OPP-HQ) is more favorably incorporated in the mixed SAMs than C 24OPP-HQ. From (1)H NMR spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses, we concluded that the factors increasing the population of Zn(C 24OPP-HQ) in the mixed SAMs are the enhanced rigidity of the porphyrin core by the zinc coordination and the flat structure of the porphyrin moiety in the saddle conformation. This study demonstrates that strapped porphyrins possessing long alkyl chains are available to arrange the functional modules on the surface via chemical modification on the strapped moiety.
