abstract = {In this work a surface science study on metal-organic
interfaces is presented to resolve their geometric and
electronic properties and study the interplay of molecule
molecule and molecule-substrate interactions. The organic
molecules benzene, azobenzene,
3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA),
and terephthalicacid (TPA) are deposited on low index Ag and
Cu surfaces to form monolayer andsub-monolayer structures
which are investigated by normal incidence X-ray standing
waves and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy, which
leads to several surprising findings. Investigating the
adsorption of benzene, we find it physisorbed in a flat
geometry for benzene on Ag(111). Enhancing the
molecule-substrate interaction by exchanging Ag(111) with
the stronger interacting Cu(111) is expected to simply lower
the adsorption height. However, we find flat molecules at an
elevated adsorption height forbenzene/Cu(111), which seem to
be stabilized via intermolecular interactions due to the
coexistence with upright standing benzene molecules. The
interplay of molecule-molecule and molecule-substrate
interactions is further explored on a metal-organic network
formed by codeposition of TPA and Fe atoms on Cu(100). The
coordination of TPA molecules by the Fe atoms reduces the
TPA substrate interaction. An additional sitespecific
adsorption of oxygen again alters this balance. In case of
PTCDA a comprehensive study for its adsorption on low index
Ag surfacesis presented. From linking the geometric and
electronic stucture properties, it is understood that the
electron density spill-out of the surface and its uptake by
the adsorbing molecule is a decisive molecule-substrate
interaction channel. This explains the finding that the
resulting binding energies of the lowest unoccupied
molecular orbital (LUMO) as well as the adsorption height of
PTCDA on Ag are determined by the work function. Moving to
the archetypal molecular switch azobenzene, which is studied
on Cu(111), three different azobenzene monolayer phases
which are formed along with a coverage dependent
dissociation of the molecule are revealed. The higher the
density of molecules get, the stronger molecule-molecule
interactions become and force the molecule to bend. However,
its strong molecule-substrate bond prevents a conformational
change and the resulting stress ultimately leads to a
dissociation. The surprising results of this work show that
the understanding of interactions at metal-organic
interfaces is still only rudimentary and stress the
importance of further fundamental research.},
