Time- and angle-resolved 2-photon photoemission (2PPE) has proven to be a powerful experimental approach to study the electron dynamics at metal organic interfaces. With adsorption of the first monolayer (ML) PTCDA on Ag(111) an unoccupied strongly dispersing interface state (IS) emerges at 0.6 eV above the Fermi Level EF [1]. Also for 1 ML NTCDA/Ag(111) a similar unoccupied state arises at 0.37 eV above EF. The respective inelastic electron lifetimes of 54 fs and 110 fs indicate that the states have a significant overlap with the metal substrate and mainly originate from an upshifted Shockley surface state. We systematically studied the disordered precursor phase of the PTCDA monolayer [2]. For this interface a non-dispersing unoccupied state at 0.45 eV above EF can be observed that has an electron lifetime of 63 fs. The influence of the adsorbate morphology and the origin of this non-dispersing feature will be discussed. Either the disorder leads to a localization of the surface state or the signal stems from a molecular state shifted in energy due to the chemical interaction.
