We probe the electron-phonon coupling for in situ engineered porphyrin-based magnetic molecular layers supported on weakly reactive surfaces. Using high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy at 4.5 K we show that the electronic and magnetic properties of the engineered molecules are the result of interplay between many-body spin-flip excitations and electron-phonon interactions.
