▎ 摘  要

The abstraction of pyrrolic hydrogen from a single phthalocyanine on graphene turns the molecule into a sensitive probe for graphene phonons. The inelastic electron transport measured with a scanning tunneling microscope across the molecular adsorbate and graphene becomes strongly enhanced for a graphene out -of-plane acoustic phonon mode. Supporting density functional and transport calculations elucidate the underlying physical mechanism. A molecular orbital resonance close to the Fermi energy controls the inelastic current while specific phonon modes of graphene are magnified due to their coupling to symmetry-equivalent vibrational quanta of the molecule.
