abstract = {In this work we investigate variations of a homo-molecular
layer of CuPc adsorbed on the Ag(111) surface, which is a
well known example in research on organic electronics where
the structural and electronic properties at the
metal-organic interface are of interest. Three modifications
of the mentioned system are realized by addition of a second
layer, exchange of the substrate, and addition of a second
type of organic molecules. Measurements on the lateral
structure are performed by STM and LEED. For experiments on
the electronic structure, STM-based differential conductance
spectroscopy and angle-resolved PES are applied. For a
second layer of CuPc on top of the first layer of CuPc on
Ag(111) we observe a weaker interaction between the two
molecular layers than between the substrate and the first
molecular layer. This allows molecules in the second layer
to adsorb in an inclined configuration in contrast to the
flat lying geometry of molecules in the first layer. The
HOMO of CuPc shifts towards larger binding energies with
increasing coverage. The (former) LUMO, which in the first
layer is weakly occupied by charge donation from the silver
substrate, is unoccupied in the second layer because of a
significantly weaker interaction with the underlying
material. Experiments on a dense, closed layer of CuPc
molecules on the Ag(110) surface reveal a stronger effect of
this substrate on the layer formation than the Ag(111)
surface. The stronger interacting substrate of lower
symmetry dominates the formation of the lateral molecular
arrangement interspersed by dislocation lines where the
intermolecular interaction breaks through. The initially
4-fold symmetry of the molecules is reduced to2-fold due to
a combination of geometric and electronic effects. The part
of the molecule that is is aligned with a more acute angle
to the Ag[001] direction is slightly bent down, interacting
stronger with the substrate and receiving charge donated by
the silver. By this asymmetry the original degeneracy of the
two parts of the LUMO is lifted. Laterally mixed
hetero-organic layers of CuPc and PTCDA on Ag(110) show the
stronger influence of the substrate on the formation of
ordered structures compared to mixed ordered layers on
Ag(111). A tendency to form complex packing motifs is
observed and we investigate two different structures that
are described by large unit cells comprising 5 and 9
molecules, respectively. Measurements on the local
electronic structure are dominated by signals from PTCDA
molecules and we observe that the PTCDA LUMO is occupied to
at least the same degree as it is in a homo-molecular PTCDA
layer. Th CuPc LUMO is unoccupied indicating a
molecule-molecule interaction with an unequal charge
distribution for the two types of molecules.},
