Recently, it was shown that a single layer of oxygen is sufficient to decouple nickel porphyrins from a ferromagnetic surface, thus, preserving most of the electronic features of the pristine molecules [1]. However, distortions of the molecular structure, e.g. upward-bent phenyl-rings, can make the interpretation of surface imaging techniques like STM extremely challenging.
Additional information can be gained by photoemission tomography (PT), which combines angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) with ab-initio calculations of the gas phase molecules to interpret the orbital arrangement of thin molecular layers.
This work provides a characterization of NiTPP molecules on an oxygen passivated Fe(100)-p(1x1)O surface using PT, focusing not only on the energy level alignment but also on their azimuthal orientation with respect to the substrate.
