State-of-the-art organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are still under intense investigation both in fundamental research and development as challenges, e.g. efficient deep-blue emitters, are still unsolved. Moreover, the physical and electronic behavior on the nanoscale after thermal sublimation at the molecule-substrate interface is often unknown but can drastically determine the device performance. Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) we study the adsorption and electronic structure of new types of Pt(II) complexes on Au(111). These molecules exhibit photoluminescent quantum yields up to 65% and are used in prototype devices. By mapping frontier orbitals of systematically varied organometallic complexes we are able to evaluate and control the impact of the ligands on the HOMO-LUMO gap which basically determines the emitted wavelength. Our findings provide a strategy to characterize and tailor organometallic molecules with targeted properties. Furthermore, we show that potential dissociation during the deposition is an important issue.
