The growth of the two polyacenes tetracene (Tc) and pentacene (Pc) on Ag(111) was investigated by SPA-LEED, STM, HREELS, XPS, and TPD. Although the two molecules are chemically similar, their growth behaviour on Ag(111) turns out to be significantly different. Tc forms two long-range ordered monolayer structures at temperatures below 230 K, which contain one (planar) and two (slighly tilted) Tc molecules per unit cell, respectively [1]. From the second layer onward, a pronounced cluster-growth occurs. Quite differently, the monolayer of Pc appears to be disordered, possibly due to kinetic limitations. Interestingly, the second layer exhibits a long range ordered structure, whereby the growth directions are templated by surface steps. Supported by the DFG. [1] A. Langner et al., Surf.
