We investigated epitaxial tetraphenyldibenzoperiflanthene (DBP) thin films grown on Ag(111). Structural characterization using LEED and STM revealed a well-ordered flat-lying thin film grown in a herringbone arrangement within the first monolayer. In order to trace the development of the optical properties in situ differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) was performed. A strong interaction between molecules in contact with the Ag(111) surface was found. Depending on the coverage two distinct spectral fingerprints of DBP molecules on top of the first monolayer arise, indicating a transformation from DBP monomers to aggregates. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) measurements reveal two distinct sets of peaks for the occupied states of DBP multilayer samples on Ag(111), being indicative of an individual alignment of electronic states for each DBP species.
