Perylene tetracarboxylic acid bisimides dyes (PBI) are among the best n-conducting organic materials. The molecular structure and electronic properties of these molecules can be tailored by halogen substituents attached to the perylene core which induces a twist angle in the planar perylene backbone. We studied the morphology, geometric and electronic structure of ultra thin epitaxial films of the planar PBI−H4, the slightly twisted PBI−F2 and the strongly twisted PBI−Cl4 on Ag(111) substrates. At coverages below one molecular layer a long range order was observed at room temperature. From the characteristic LEED patterns we deduced real space models for each sample. Incommensurate superstructures were found were the size of the unit cell increases from PBI−H4 to PBI−Cl4. Moreover, the bonding at the interface and consequently the electronic structure is significantly influenced by the molecular conformation thus providing a possible route for tailor the properties of metal-organic interfaces.
