Herein, an experimental and theoretical characterization of the adsorption of two perylene derivatives on Cu(111) is presented [1, 2]. The main focus of this work lies on the analysis of molecule-molecule and molecule-substrate interactions by combining results from scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray standing wave (XSW) measurements, and density functional theory.
For submonolayer coverage and after annealing (>150°C), both systems form a metal-coordinated network, which is commensurate to the substrate. By performing XSW measurements, the vertical adsorption geometry was determined and thereby, insight into the interplay between intermolecular and molecule-substrate interactions was gained. As a result of the metal coordination, the molecule-substrate interactions are decreased and the molecules are essentially decoupled from the Cu(111) surface.
