In this study, the self-assembled molecular network and electronic properties of Ni-phthalocyanine (NiPc) molecules on monolayer graphene (MLG)/6H-SiC(0001) were studied by room temperature Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. In this study, a very weak electronic coupling between the graphene and the NiPc molecules is found. This is due to the very small charge transfer of only 0.035e− per molecule. The weak molecule–graphene interaction has two observable consequences: sub-molecular resolution was obtained in the STM spectroscopy at room-temperature with the molecules adsorbed directly on the graphene, and the occupied and unoccupied molecular resonance peaks were observed to shift their position in energy as a function of the tip–surface distance. This is due to the temporary local charging (either positive or negative) that is achieved by decreasing the surface voltage under the STM tip. This may have important consequences for future studies of the opto-electronic properties of such hybrid graphene–molecule systems.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
