The evolution of the morphology and the electronic properties of the hybrid organic-inorganic systems composed of metallic nanoparticles distributed in semiconductor organic matrix (FxCuPc, x=0,4,16), as a function of nominal metal content was studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and by surface- and bulk sensitive high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy perfermed at different Synchrotron Radiation facilities. Using HR-TEM the images of metal nanoparticles with direct resolving of atomic planes were obtained (see Figure). In particular, by this method for some coatings the coalescence processes of nanoparticles depending on the initial mutual orientation of the nanoparticles was observed.
