The {1 1 0} surfaces of fcc metals show an intrinsic anisotropy due to the rectangular surface unit cell. This anisotropy can be even more pronounced in the case of the (1 × 2) missing row reconstruction, which has been found for metals such as Pt and Au. In contrast, on Pd(1 1 0) this reconstruction is only stable after the adsorption of hydrogen [1]. The clean Pd(1 1 0) does not show the tendency to reconstruct. After deposition of small amounts of Au (< 1 ML) on the unreconstructed Pd(1 1 0) surface pseudomorphic Au islands are observed, whereas in the case of higher Au amounts (> 2 ML) the resulting Au layer shows the characteristic (1 × 2) reconstruction, which however is still remains pseudomorphic to Pd(1 1 0) [2]. We used both reconstructed surfaces, the hydrogen induced Pd (1 1 0)-(1 × 2) surface and the Au modified one as a substrate for the deposition of phthalocyanine molecules. STM investigations under UHV conditions reveal a specific adsorption behaviour of the phthalocyanine molecules, which are oriented along rows of the reconstructed surfaces (“template effect”).
