Recent years have seen rapid progress in the field of surface-confined coordination chemistry. Adsorbed metal complexes of tetrapyrroles (porphyrins, phthalocyanines, corroles) are especially interesting in this context, since they combine a planar structure-determining element with an active site. While earlier studies of adsorbed metallo-tetrapyrroles mainly addressed aspects of molecular self-assembly, the focus of interest has shifted gradually to electronic structure and chemical reactivity. This article gives an overview of recent advances in the field of surface chemistry with tetrapyrroles. In particular, the following aspects will be discussed: intramolecular conformation and supramolecular ordering, electronic interaction with the substrate, surface-confined synthesis, and ligand-related effects such as the surface trans effect.
