Thin films of organic molecules show great promise for applications in future (nano)electronic devices, such as solar cells, light emitting diodes and transistors. A major factor in the performance of these films is the interface between substrate and molecular film. The interfacial properties depend on the balance between intermolecular and molecule-substrate interactions. Herein, we present a comparative study on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a triphenylene-based donor molecule (HAT) on three substrates: Ag(111), graphene/Ir(111) and graphene/Ni(111). We studied the structure of the SAMs by means of scanning tunneling microscopy and low-energy electron diffraction, and their interaction with the substrates by X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. On each substrate, HAT formed a close-packed hexagonal network that is commensurate with the substrate. From the photoelectron spectroscopy measurements we only found a weak (physisorptive) interaction between molecules and substrates. This goes against the established belief for SAMs on metal surfaces, where commensurate networks are principally formed on strongly interacting surfaces where the molecules chemisorb.
