A combination of CV, in-situ STM and ex-situ XPS studies were performed to gain information about an iodide modified Cu(100) electrode surface exposed to an acidic electrolyte containing a redox-active phthalocyanine (abbreviated as [ZnPcPyMe]⁺⁴). In the CV, four single electron transfer steps were observed, which lead to the formation of tri-, di-, and mono-cations, respectively. The XPS data reveal not only the strong adsorption of molecules, but also the replacement of the zinc atoms by hydrogens. The well-ordered self-assembled adlayer of metal-free phthalocyanine seen in STM forms a (quasi) square-shaped lattice (angle of 92 ± 2^∘, intermolecular distance of 19.5Å) which coincide neither with the iodide nor with the copper lattice underneath. A detailed molecular structure model is proposed in agreement with the experimentally observed pattern.
