Scanning probe microscopy plays an important role in the investigation of molecular adsorption. Promising is the possibility to probe the molecule-surface interaction while tuning its strength through AFM tip-induced single-molecule manipulation. Here, we outline a strategy to achieve quantitative understanding of such manipulation experiments [1,2]. The example of qPlus sensor based 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic-dianhydride (PTCDA) molecule lifting experiments is used to demonstrate how different aspects of the molecule-surface interaction, namely the short-range adsorption potential [2], the asymptotic van der Waals potential, and local chemical bonds which are the source of the surface corrugation can be quantified by the help of force-field simulations.
