Dimolybdenum tetraacetate (MoMo) adsorbed on metal single crystal surfaces shows a partial transition from an ordered close-packed upright standing configuration (chain phase) to a low-packed phase upon cooling (mesh phase). On the base of DFT calculations it is supposed that this phase consists from flat lying molecules. In order to confirm upright/flat orientation of the MoMo molecules in different phases NEXAFS spectroscopy was applied. The MoMo layer of different (0.1-1 ML) coverages were evaporated on the Au/Cu(111) substrate both at room and low temperatures. XPS/NEXAFS measurements were carried out at deposition temperature as well after cooling or/and warming the sample. After NEXAFS experiments it was found that a molecule coverage also plays very important for the transition. Moreover, it was established that, in addition to thermodynamics, kinetic processes may play a crucial role in this process as well.
