Metal/organic interfaces have a large impact on the performance of organic (opto-)electronic devices. Therefore, the detailed understanding of their chemical, electronic and geometric structure is important for the further technological development. Many common organic semiconductors contain π-electron systems with alternant topologies, whereas non-alternant alternatives have only recently found increasing attention due to their unusual electronic properties. Here, we compare the alternant polycyclic aromatic molecule pyrene with its non-alternant isomers acepleiadylene and azupyrene regarding their interaction with Cu(111) surface, using PES, NEXAFS, TPD and STM. The non-alternant isomers are also interesting as molecular models of graphene defects, e.g. azupyrene for the Stone-Wales defects. In all cases, the non-alternant isomers show increased metal/molecule-interaction due to their reduced HOMO-LUMO gap, which brings the LUMO energetically closer to the Fermi energy of the metal, causing stronger hybridization with electronic states of the metal surfaces.
