Clusters and nanoparticles are of significant interest for applications in catalysis. One approach is the utilization of the nanoparticles' optical properties to increase the efficiency of existing catalytic schemes. In this contribution recent results on the optical properties of a system of Ir based photosensitizers (PS) in interaction with Ag clusters are summarized in view of potential applications for photocatalytic hydrogen production. For a more detailed understanding of the coupling mechanisms between deposited clusters and organic molecules an experimental setup for photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) is being realized. The PEEM is equipped with an imaging time-of-flight and a retarding-field energy filter. Several excitation sources can be used, including a Hg-lamp, a 266nm cw-laser, and a Ti:sapphire laser for two-photon photoemission (2PPE). In addition to standard equipments for sample preparation the chamber is attached to a cluster source for in-situ deposition of mass-selected nanoparticles. The current state of design and construction of the experimental setup, as well as the results of first measurements are presented.
