“…15,16 The planar orientation, in particular for the first single-layer (SL), is due to an interaction between the metal-phthalocyanine orbitals and the Au electronic levels. [16][17][18][19] Transition metal phthalocyanines with an open shell structure of the central ion molecular orbitals, strongly interact with the metal substrates, affecting the electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of the organic/metal interface, thus influencing the performances of the molecular device. 10,20,21 In this paper, we determine the adsorption energy of FePc and CoPc adsorbed on Au(110), with respect to CuPc/Au(110), as estimated by Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD).…”
