Organic molecules adsorbed on metal-surfaces play an important role for the functionalization of surfaces or as candidates for electronic devices in the emerging field of nano-electronics. As such metal-phthalocyanines (MPc) are an intensely studied model-system, both experimentally in STM/STS-measurements and theoretically by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For the latter it is known that there are still problems concerning the correct treatment of dispersion interactions and the exact description of excitation spectra of organic molecules. For this reason a detailed comparison with experiments will be helpful. Iron-phthalocyanine (FePc) adsorbed on the Ag(111)-surface has been investigated by spin-polarized total energy calculations employing DFT as implemented in the VASP-code. The PAW-pseudopotential-method has been applied and as approximation for the xc-functional GGA-PBE has been used. To account for dispersion interactions the empirical C6/R6-ansatz [1] has been applied.
