We have investigated nanorods of two newly synthesized substituted pentacenes deposited on Au(111): δ4-substituted (2,3-X2-9,10-Y2) pentacene with X = Y = methoxy group and X = Fluorine, Y = methoxy, by using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Energy dependent photoemission spectra show complex features that we have analyzed in detail by using a fitting procedure. Our analysis reveals the unusual presence of surface core level shifts due to the high electronegativity of the fluorine atoms and the structure of the nanorods. In addition, the distinctive features of growth and morphology of the nanorods are subjected to a template effect by the substrate lattice geometry, leading to a systematic organization of the nanorod assemblies.
