Phthalocyanines are interesting for applications in organic devices due to the potential of tailoring their properties by introducing different metal ligands into the heterocycle. Some derivates offer the potential of tuning the work function of metal contacts due to an intrinsic dipole moment. We present a high resolution photoelectron spectroscopy study on SnPc submonolayers on Ag(111). Based on a structural analysis, which shows the existence of different adsorption phases with different orientation of the molecular dipoles depending on temperature and coverage, the PES data indicate a significant effect on the surface work function. The valence and core spectra allow identifying a covalent interaction at the interface with the appearance of a new state at EF. Moreover, the data provide evidence for a systematic weakening of the interfacial interaction with increasing coverage. This is accompanied by a constriction of the substrate-adsorbate charge transfer, which becomes evident from an analysis of the core level line shapes. As a consequence, a comprehensive description of the electronic structure in the contact regime, of the resulting interface dipole, and of work function effects needs to account not only for structural properties such as the intrinsic molecular geometry, but also for intermolecular- and interfacial interactions which may involve significant charge transfer.
