In order to enhance the performances of organic spintronic devices, a detailed knowledge of the physical properties at the interface is crucial [1]. In this context, photoemission tomography (PT), which combines ab-initio calculations and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), stands out as a powerful tool to unravel the orbital structure of molecular thin films at metal/organic interfaces [2].

In our work we apply PT to investigate the interaction of paramagnetic molecules, namely CoTPP, on the passivated Fe-(100)-p(1x1)O surface. Recently, it was shown that the interactions at this interface lead to an emergent magnetic ordering of the molecular layer. Here, we use PT to further characterize this intriguing system. In particular, we precisely determine the energy level alignment at the interface, the nature of the frontier orbitals, and the azimuthal orientation of the CoTPP with respect to the substrate.
