The self-assembly of molecular species on surfaces has been widely employed to produce well-defined, two-dimensional (2D) porous organic, inorganic, and metal-organic networks. [1][2][3][4][5] Such regular networks offer the possibility to arrange functional units like atoms or molecules in a repetitive and spatially ordered arrangement. Thus, these networks serve as templates for the controlled self-assembly of singlemolecule-based devices, which will be of use in future nanotechnological applications.[6]Specifically, nanoporous phases consisting of metal-organic materials are increasingly attracting interest in materials chemistry. Their chemical versatility and structural similarity to zeolites makes them promising candidates for the fabrication of multifunctional materials with various potential applications as catalysts, molecular sieves, and chemical sensors. [7][8][9] Among the vast series of functional organic molecules, metalloporphyrins and their derivatives have proved to be exceedingly useful building blocks for the construction of supramolecular functional networks as a result of their excellent thermal and chemical stability and synthetic versatility. In particular, their peripheral functionalities at the meso and b positions can be chemically modified for the engineering of a variety of extended supramolecular networks through selected intermolecular interactions, such as van der Waals and hydrogen bonding or metal-centered coordination. Using such an approach, numerous porphyrin-based three-dimensional (3D) architectures both in solution and the solid state with remarkable affinities toward selected molecular guests have been reported. [7,9] However, on solid surfaces mainly single porphyrin molecules and close-packed, self-assembled monolayers (MLs) have been investigated so far.[10-13] 2D superficial networks showing defined cavities with hosting capabilities have not been described previously. Herein, we report on the first successful preparation of a 2D porphyrin-based supramolecular assembly featuring a porous network structure on a single crystal metal surface. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies show that porphyrin 1 (Fig. 1a) self-organizes into an ordered porous molecular ML upon vapor deposition on a Ag(111) surface (Fig. 1b). Subsequent codeposition of C 60 molecules results in the selective inclusion of the fullerenes within the cavities. Unusually, the fullerene guest molecules show a distinct interaction over distances longer than the van der Waals radii, as evidenced from the formation of long fullerene chains and 2D arrays. Time-lapse imaging experiments additionally reveal that the weak physisorptive interactions between hosts and guests allow single C 60 molecules to displace themselves to neighboring pores by thermal activation at 298 K.

Note that the 3,5-di(tert-butyl)phenyl and the 3-cyanophenyl substituents feature a certain conformational flexibility with respect to the ce...
