The electronic states of submonolayers and multilayers of cobalt(II) phthalocyanine (CoPc) adsorbed on Ag(111) were examined with photoelectron spectroscopy to obtain insight into the details of the substrate-adsorbate interaction. UV photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) reveals the presence of two interaction-related valence states in the direct vicinity of the Fermi edge, in agreement with previous DFT calculations. X-ray photoelectron spectra indicate that the substrate-adsorbate interaction results in transfer of electron density from the substrate to the Co(II) ion. Substantial changes in the Co 2p multiplet structure, a spectral pattern induced by the open-shell character of the central Co(II) ion, indicate a complete quenching of the molecular spin. While pristine CoPc molecules are paramagnetic with S = 1/2, molecules in direct contact to the Ag(111) substrate appear to be in a diamagnetic state. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
