The growth and ordering of metal complexes of 2,9,16,23-tetra-tert-butyl-phthalocyanines (TtertBuPc) on graphite surface have been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. A well-ordered molecular layer having the molecular plane lying parallel to the graphite substrate was obtained at the solution - graphite interface at room temperature. For Cu-TtertBuPc, dimer ordering similar to that reported previously on the Si(111)-r3Xr3-Ag surface1 was partly observed. We will also discuss the effects of changing the center metal and/or the phthalocyanine to naphthalocyanine, and imaging and orbital mediated tunneling spectroscopy in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV).
