The performance of organic materials in electronic devices depends on the ability to control the properties at the interfaces between different active layers. While almost all studies up to now focused on organic layers containing only one molecular species, some groups have recently started to investigate hetero-organic films with two different types of molecules. We have chosen mixed monolayer structures of CuPc and PTCDA adsorbed on Ag(111) as a model system. Our structural data revealed different long range ordered structures depending on the relative coverage of CuPc to PTCDA. The influence of intermolecular interactions on the electronic structure was studied by angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). Analyzing the ARPES data in the orbital tomography approach [1] indicated a significant change in the occupation of the molecular orbitals in the mixed films. These modifications are correlated to the formation of an interface state expanding over both molecular species which leads to a coupling of the molecular valence states. [1] P.
