The energy alingment of electronic levels for molecules adsorbed on noble metal surfaces was investigated extensively. However, the research was focused mainly on the frontier orbitals located close to the Fermi level, namely the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) and HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital).
We report a study of PTCDA (3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride) adsorbed on the low index Ag surfaces Ag(100), Ag(111) and Ag(110) where the fine structure of the "HOMO-1" resonance was investigated by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Using the orbital tomography approach we found that this resonance consists of 4 close located molecular orbitals [1,2]. The energy ordering of the orbitals is independent from the Ag surface and the molecular superstructure.
