The occupied valence regime of metal-organic interfaces has been intensively studied by e.g. angular resolved UV-photoelectron spectroscopy allowing direct identification of molecule-metal hybrid states due to interfacial interaction [1]. However, the unoccupied valence levels are much more complicated to access experimentally limiting the knowledge about the contribution of these orbitals on the interface bonding. K-resolved Inverse Photoelectron Spectroscopy (KRIPES) is a technique to study the unoccupied density of states of inorganic materials. We present the first KRIPES-measurement on an organic monolayer adsorbed on a metal surface and discuss the applicability of KRIPES on orbital tomography established for PES. The single-domain monolayer system PTCDA/Ag(110) shows two non-dispersing states. Comparison of the experimental variation of the KRIPES-spectra intensity and DFT calculation of the free PTCDA molecule identifies the first state as the LUMO+1. The origin of the second state is not clear yet but shows influences of LUMO+1 and LUMO+2.
