Nature Chemistry 6, 41 (2014). doi:10.1038/nchem.1804 Authors: Takashi Kumagai, Felix Hanke, Sylwester Gawinkowski, John Sharp, Konstantinos Kotsis, Jacek Waluk, Mats Persson & Leonhard Grill The rate of an intramolecular hydrogen transfer reaction in a single porphycene molecule resting on a copper surface can be controlled by placing a copper adatom close to it. Cooperativity effects are also observed in rows of porphycene molecules, where the reaction rate of each individual molecule depends on the precise tautomer state of its neighbours.
