The angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is often used to study electronic properties of molecule/metal interfaces. In particular, for planar π-conjugated molecules, utilizing a plane wave approximation for the photoelectron final states, it is possible to completely reconstruct the spatial distribution of the molecular orbitals [1,2]. However, recently it has been shown that the plane wave approximation fails to describe correctly the angular distribution of photoemission induced by the s-polarized light [3] and a better final states approximation is needed to predict experimentally observed photoemission patterns. In this contribution, we revisit this issue and report on ARPES measurements of monolayers of several molecules - tetracene, pentacene, pentaphenyl and sexiphenyl - on Ag(110) and Cu(110) surfaces, performed using various polarizations of the incident light.
