abstract = {For exploiting the full potential of organic materials for
future organic electronic devices it is of crucial
importance to understand structural and electronic
properties of metal-organic interfaces and adsorbate
systems, in particular electronic interactions and growth
mechanisms. Phthalocyanine molecules represent one class of
materials which are very frequently discussed in this
context. They feature an appealing tunability in terms of
structural, electronic and magnetic properties, simply by
exchanging the central (metal) atom or group of atoms. Here
we present a comprehensive study of one of the model systems
in this field, TiOPc on Ag(111). We discuss structure
formation and growth from submonolayer to multilayer films,
based on results obtained by electron diffraction, scanning
tunneling microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy,
x-ray standing waves, photoelectron spectroscopy and pair
potential calculations. Similar to related
metal-phthalocyanine adsorbate systems we find three
distinct phases in the submonolayer regime, a disordered
gas-like 'g-phase', a commensurate 'c2-phase' at low
temperature, and a 'p.o.l.-phase' consisting of a series of
point-on-line structures with continuously shrinking unit
cells. For the latter a uniform TiO-up configuration (Ti–O
group pointing towards vacuum) was found. Hence, the
first-layer molecules form a strong dipole layer, the dipole
moment of which is compensated by molecules adsorbing in the
second layer at hollow-sites in TiO-down geometry (Ti-O
group pointing towards the surface). The Coulomb interaction
between the dipole moments in the first and second layer
stabilizes this bilayer structure and causes a
bilayer-by-bilayer growth mode of molecular films above a
thickness of 2 ML. We report the structural properties
(vertical adsorption heights, inter-layer distances, inplane
orientations and positions) of the molecules in all phases
in detail, and discuss the effect of inelastic dynamical
charge transfer. Our results contribute to a comprehensive
understanding of this interesting adsorbate system and, in
comparison with earlier studies on CuPc, H2Pc and SnPc on
Ag(111), we shine new light on the interesting interplay of
molecule-molecule and molecule-substrate interactions.},
