The thermally activated surface chemistry of a dibromo-diiodo-pyrene is comparatively studied on Ag(111) and Au (111) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of C 1s, Br 3d, and I 3d was used to identify chemical changes that indicated the occurrence of two distinct phases for both surfaces. Upon progressive heating on Ag (111), an initially formed partly organometallic phase becomes fully organometallic. On Au (111) at room temperature, however the precursor is already deionated and partially forms covalent bonds. Further heating drives debromination and results in conversion to a fully covalent network. The structural characterization of each phase is carried out by a combination of high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and C 1s near edge x-ray absorption fine structure. Special emphasis is put on buckling in the networks as a consequence of covalent bond formation due to steric hindrance.
