abstract = {What do energy level alignments at metal–organic
interfaces reveal about the metal–molecule bonding
strength? Is it permissible to take vertical adsorption
heights as indicators of bonding strengths? In this paper we
analyse 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride
(PTCDA) on the three canonical low index Ag surfaces to
provide exemplary answers to these questions. Specifically,
we employ angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy for a
systematic study of the energy level alignments of the two
uppermost frontier states in ordered monolayer phases of
PTCDA. Data are analysed using the orbital tomography
approach. This allows the unambiguous identification of the
orbital character of these states, and also the
discrimination between inequivalent species. Combining this
experimental information with DFT calculations and the
generic Newns–Anderson chemisorption model, we analyse the
alignments of highest occupied and lowest unoccupied
molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) with respect to the
vacuum levels of bare and molecule-covered surfaces. This
reveals clear differences between the two frontier states.
In particular, on all surfaces the LUMO is subject to
considerable bond stabilization through the interaction
between the molecular π-electron system and the metal, as a
consequence of which it also becomes occupied. Moreover, we
observe a larger bond stabilization for the more open
surfaces. Most importantly, our analysis shows that both the
orbital binding energies of the LUMO and the overall
adsorption heights of the molecule are linked to the
strength of the chemical interaction between the molecular
π-electron system and the metal, in the sense that stronger
bonding leads to shorter adsorption heights and larger
orbital binding energies.},
