Motivated by recent prediction of Stanene, a honeycomb structure of Sn atoms on a Au substrate [1], we investigated the structure formation of Sn on Au(111) using LEED and STM. In the sub monolayer regime, Sn forms a variety of ordered surface reconstructions depending on Sn coverage and post annealing temperature. One of the most stable structures is the (Sqrt3 x Sqrt3)R30° reconstruction which is characterized by a hexagonal super lattice. Angle resolved photoemission revealed a rich band structure with a Rashba type split band in the vicinity of the Gamma point, in agreement with band structure calculations based on density functional theory. Our results will be compared to the predicted fingerprints of stanene [1]. [1] S. Nigam, et al. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2015,17, 6705-6712
