In this work the adsorption of cobalt(II) hexadecafluoro-phthalocyanine (F₁₆CoPc), one of the few organic n-type semiconductors, onto silver (110) surface prepared by OMBD is investigated using UHV VT-STM from Omicron operating at 40 K. The asymmetry of the metal substrate is found to act as a template for the organic adlayer which grows preferentially along the [1-10] crystallographic axis leading to a commensurate structure with well defined pinning centers. The proposed structural model is strongly sustained by the molecular self assembly at the defects proximity and especially at the domain boundaries where a mirror structure is induced. The perturbed electronic properties like HOMO-LUMO gap, induced new states close to the Fermi level are illustrated using STS. Single molecule DFT calculations are implemented to understand the mechanism responsible for the organic-metal interface formation from STS.
