By means of model surface science investigations, prototypical organic and metal-organic molecules are adsorbed on single-crystal metal supports in ultra-high vacuum and their structural and electronic properties are characterized at the sub-molecular level using state-of-the-art spectroscopic methods. We specifically highlight the distinct influence of the supporting metal substrates on the adsorbates’ properties, which reflects the wealth of physical and chemical interfacial phenomena and underlines the significance of such investigations for tailored applications in heterogeneous catalysis, for the synthesis of surface-supported nanostructures and surface functionalization.
