We have doped the well-known brick-wall structure of pristine PTCDA which is present in the monolayer on the Ag(110) surface with potassium (K) and investigated the induced structural and electronic changes at the interface. SPA-LEED measurements reveal that the structural order of the PTCDA molecules is strongly altered upon K dosing: A variety of co-existing binary phases is observed within the monolayer. In addition we have conducted XPS and NIXSW measurements on K + PTCDA / Ag(110). The photoemission experiments indicate that the K atoms preferentially interact with the carboxylic groups of the co-adsorbed PTCDA molecules. This interpretation is further supported by the NIXSW results: The adsorption geometries of the carboxylic and the anhydride oxygen (O) atoms are highly influenced by the presence of K on the surface, the bonding distances are extended. The adsorption height of the perylene core is also increased by K doping. Hence we conclude that the local Ag-O bonds at the interface are partially lifted by the co-adsorbed K and that K and Ag atoms compete for the interaction with the carboxylic groups of PTCDA while the bonding across the interface is weakened. Supported by the DFG and the ESRF.
