Controlling the metalation of surface porphyrins is a critical process in porphyrin-based devices. Indeed, surface porphyrins are known to metalate in ultrahigh vacuum from codeposited metal atoms or substrate atoms; however, it is not yet known if surface porphyrins could metalate from ions in solution, that is, the most likely environment for porphyrin-based devices. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy we have studied the metalation of monolayers and multilayers of a free-base tetraphenyl porphyrin adsorbed on Au(111) with ions in solution. We found that full metalation with Zn can be achieved already at room temperature in contrast with the elevated temperatures required for metalation with codeposited metal atoms.
